A proper nutritional plan is absolutely a must for a person who wants to maximize his/her potentials. If we adapt a plant-based diet, we can expect the followings: more strength, more endurance, accelerated recovery from trainings (or from injuries), much better bowel movement, less body odour, better sleeps and greater peace of mind.
Firstly, let’s talk about proper hydration. While we are working out, we breathe much faster and much more as well as we’re sweating like on a hot day. Obviously we must get more water than usually. We can lose over 2 litres every hour. If we don’t replace this water loss, then our performance will fall back dramatically. We should drink small sips during our workout to prevent this decrease. Our water should be neither icy nor warm. If our workout takes more than 1.5-2 hours, then we should also think about keeping our energy level normal. If you get hungry, your performance will deteriorate. People often can’t eat while they are doing sports. Therefore, we can make our own energy drink (as we could read it in the text) or we can drink juices …show more content…
Let’s deal with meat first. Meat causes a whole lot of destruction in our body. Animal protein can cause inflammation which we really don’t want in our body after a great workout which also puts a great oxidative stress into our body. It would damage our muscle gains and our joint as well. To tackle this, we should eat antioxidant rich foods which are primary found in the plant kingdom. We want to avoid saturated animal fats and cholesterol which can damage our arteries and can lead to heart disease or stroke. We try to go beyond our limitation anyway so it would be advisable not to put any more burdens onto our body. Animal protein, saturated animal fats and cholesterol can also be found in dairy products and eggs so staying away from these would be a great idea
