Their bodies are their temples, and what goes in will affect their performance. Sports nutrition is a broad term that includes all types of foods and drinks athletes consume to maintain their energy levels and stamina.<\/p>\n<p>Athletes need to have a well-balanced diet. This means eating the right proportions of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water. The body needs all of these nutrients to function properly and perform at its best.<\/p>\n<p>Carbohydrates are the body&#8217;s main source of energy. They are found in bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, fruits, and vegetables. It is recommended that athletes consume about 50-60% of their calories from carbohydrates.<\/p>\n<p>Proteins are important for repairing and building muscle tissue. They are found in meats, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products, nuts, and seeds. It is recommended that athletes consume about 10-20% of their calories from proteins.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-27\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sugarfootgrits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/make-your-own-sports-nutrition-1.jpg\" alt=\"homemade sports drinks\" width=\"863\" height=\"456\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.sugarfootgrits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/make-your-own-sports-nutrition-1.jpg 863w, http:\/\/www.sugarfootgrits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/make-your-own-sports-nutrition-1-300x159.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.sugarfootgrits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/make-your-own-sports-nutrition-1-768x406.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 863px) 100vw, 863px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Fats are a source of energy and help the body absorb vitamins. They are found in oils, margarine, butter, nuts, and seeds. It is recommended that athletes consume about 20-30% of their calories from fats.<\/p>\n<p>Vitamins and minerals are essential for the proper functioning of the body&#8217;s systems. They can be found in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fortified foods such as breakfast cereals.<\/p>\n<p>Water is essential for the proper function of all the body&#8217;s systems. It helps to maintain body temperature, lubricate joints, and carry nutrients to cells. It is recommended that athletes drink about 8-10 cups of fluids per day.<\/p>\n<p>Sports drinks are a type of fluid that contain carbohydrates and electrolytes. They are designed to help athletes rehydrate and replenish their energy levels during and after <a href=\"\/womens-lifestyle-interest\/postpartum-exercise-tips\/\">exercise<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Sports nutrition products such as protein powders, bars, and gels can be convenient for athletes to get the nutrients they need before, during, or after exercise. However, it is important to read the label carefully to ensure that the product is appropriate for your needs and does not contain any banned substances.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to fueling your athletic performance, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Everyone has different caloric, and nutrient needs based on age, gender, body composition, activity level, and other factors. However, following the general guidelines for a well-balanced diet will help you to meet your body&#8217;s needs and maintain your energy levels throughout your training and competitions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Making your own sports nutrition supplements is a great way to control the ingredients and quality of what you&#8217;re putting into your body.
