So how is your nutrition and your training ?? Do you think one is better than the other ? Check this out and have a read Nutrition is basically what you get when you eat a healthy and balanced diet. The food pyramid guide is structured so that you can easily gauge how much of each nutritional category you should consume on a daily basis. There are six sections to the food pyramid guide. They are: Grains Vegetables Fruits Milk Oils Meat and beans By eating the recommended daily allowance of each category your body should get everything it needs to nurture itself. From good nutrition your body gets energy, amino acids, calcium, fat, vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, and antioxidants. All of these are necessary for a healthy lifestyle, and when you exercise you need to be sure you are getting all of your nutritional requirements. What does exercise do for your body? Exercise is what keeps your body conditioned and working. If you don’t move your muscles and joints, your body will become weak and eventually break down. From exercise you gain stamina, flexibility, weight maintenance, and the prevention of many diseases. If you do not move your body it will simply cease to function. Illness resulting from lack of exercise may manifest in many different ways. For example, you may become lethargic or depressed, you may gain weight, you may develop stiff joints, or you may develop a heart condition or diabetes. Most often, illness has a compounding effect. Imagine if you never exercise and begin to gain weight. The weight gain can lead to diabetes. Diabetes can lead to blindness, circulatory problems, and death. This is the same domino effect with many other medical conditions, and it can oftentimes be avoided or minimized with exercise. How do nutrition and exercise complement each other? Nutrition and exercise not only complement each other but they need each other. Even if you eat a perfectly balanced diet you need to exercise to burn the calories. You also need to exercise to strengthen your muscles. Food gives you energy and you need energy to exercise. After you exercise you need food to restore your energy. The best energy comes from glucose, which your body extracts from carbohydrates. The best choice of carbohydrates should be whole grains. Since excess carbohydrates get stored in the body as fat, it is important not to consume more carbohydrates than your body requires. Choosing the right carbs can help you maximize their potential without adding empty calories. For instance, one can of soda is equivalent to three slices of whole grain bread. Your body will be able to break down the whole grain bread into usable energy but the soda will mainly be stored as fat. There are several other components essential to overall nutrition.
