Frequently Asked Questions about Nutrition and
Fitness

  • Under the guidance of a nutritionist or
    dietitian, the diet can be changed and followed
    according to your fitness goals and body type.
  • In this article, we will look at some of the most
    frequently asked questions about nutrition and
    exercise.

3
Why is nutrition essential for fitness?
  • What you eat, how much you eat, and when you eat
    have a big impact on your energy level and how
    quickly you recover from a workout.
  • Active people need to eat a nutritious, balanced
    diet to keep their bodies moving so that they can
    continue their exercise and physical activity.
  • In addition to exercise, focusing on a healthy
    diet as a primary fitness goal can help people
    feel more confident, lose weight, and reduce
    their risk of getting sick.
  • Many doctors are emphasizing healthy eating
    habits and lifestyles to improve overall health
    by reducing obesity and related diseases.

4
What diet should be followed?
  • An active person engages in more physical
    activity than a non-active person and thus
    requires a diet rich in carbohydrates, fats,
    essential protein, vitamins, and minerals.
  • Let's examine these important nutrients in more
    detail
  • 55-60 of calories are from carbohydrates.
  • About 30 of calories are from fat.
  • And remaining about 10-15 from protein.

5
  • All of the ingredients mentioned include eating a
    variety of foods every day, including grains,
    vegetables, fruits, beans, lean meats, and
    low-fat dairy products.
  • Carbohydrates in the form of starch and sugar
    should form the basis of the diet.
  • Dont forget that the winning combination
    regularly includes plenty of fluids such as water
    and fresh juices.
  • Always remember that dehydration can prevent even
    a physically fit person from doing their best.

6
What should a person eat before, during, and
after a workout?
  • A well-balanced diet provides enough energy and
    nutrients to help you reach your fitness goals.
  • Here are some dietary recommendations for before,
    during, and after exercise.

7
Before
  • Bananas, bagels, and fruit juices are high
    carbohydrate foods.
  • These foods are quickly digested and provide
    glucose to the muscles.
  • Eating 2 hours before exercise helps to keep
    blood glucose available for working muscles.
  • It's also important to drink a lot of water
    before working out to keep your muscles hydrated.

8
During
  • Sweating and exertion during exercise sessions
    deplete the body of fluids needed for optimal
    performance, resulting in dehydration Therefore,
    to keep the body hydrated, it is necessary to
    drink plenty of water, at least half a glass
    after 20 minutes of exercise.
  • To promote fluid intake, mix a teaspoon of sugar,
    some fruit juice, or a little powdered drink in
    plain water.
  • Your trainer and dietitian may recommend healthy
    drinks for rigorous athletic training.
  • With some sugar in it, it will provide energy and
    water to the muscles that are being exercised.

9
After
  • If the exercise was strenuous and lengthy,
    consuming carbohydrates-rich foods and beverages
    immediately after exercise will replenish
    glycogen stores in your body.
  • Regardless of the intensity of the exercise, it
    is critical to drink lots of fluids and eat a
    sufficient amount of nutritious, balanced meals
    rich in carbohydrate-rich foods such as grains,
    pasta, potatoes, vegetables, and fruits.

    nutrition, diet, and fitness have been helpful.

    and fitness, don't let other people's routines
    overwhelm you.
  • If you take the first step towards a healthier
    lifestyle, things will slowly begin to evolve
    according to your fitness goals and your body's
    desires!
