… Sport…
Sport is a physical activity that makes you feel good, strengthens you, stimulates you, gratifies you, integrates you, welcomes you… catapults you into another dimension… A dimension made of sacrifice, dedication, passion, performance… A performance that requires attention, dedication, meticulousness, accuracy…!
This is why human nutrition plays a strategic, fundamental, necessary role!
Nutrition that has always filled our days, marked our times, determined our results… Nutrition that accompanies us in all our daily activities… Nutrition for which: newspapers, magazines, programs, columns, specials, advertisements, and other forms of communication create a real multi-billion dollar business around the binomial Sport & Nutrition.
A binomial made up of countless pieces of information that pervade the media, shape our lives, influence our habits, guide our consumption… proposing life models to imitate and life styles to follow suitable for everyone.
But the human body is a complex, perfect, unique machine and it does not always meet universal parameters which are valid for everyone!
Every body is different, every activity is different, every sport is different.
Which is why nutrition must be studied, evaluated, adapted, and modulated according to the multiple dynamics affecting the single individual.
This is because nutrition is the driving force of the human body!
It has indeed known for centuries that foods are the basis of psycho-physical well-being and they can positively or negatively affect the performance of athletes.
Therefore, it is not possible to create a nutritional model which is valid for everyone. Indeed, you should listen to your body, your needs, your sport and understand which one is the most suitable, the most balanced, the most effective!
Nutrition should hence be adapted to one’s body responses, to one’s activities, to one’s sport. And it is just the sport played that strongly requires a specific diet to be followed in order to achieve the desired result.
In fact, in nature there are no magic potions, miraculous solutions, resolutive products… There are instead foods that can determine sports performance.
Because a proper nutrition can really make the difference!
A proper nutrition can improve the psycho-physical activity and lead to high sports performance.
And this is how athletes, champions, stars do… People who live off sport, for whom nutrition becomes an essential part of their life.
And this is how all sportsmen could do!
To feel good and to be in shape it would be enough to listen to your body and follow healthy and virtuous lifestyles, which can bring enormous benefits to the human body and sports performance.
But this can only happen by modulating the diet according to your physical and sporting needs, and sometimes by relying on professionals in the medical-nutritional sector who know well what to do and how to obtain the desired results.
Our diet describes indeed who we are, how we look, and how we are!
A famous company slogan says: eat well and live better (and in shape I would add…)!
