If we want to do a particular sport, it is important to have a proper diet because it helps increase the effects of exercise. If you perform tasks that require great physical strength (running, swimming, cycling), are recommended foods such as bananas, whole grains and avocados.

Nutritionists recommend about 30 minutes before running, eating food that can provide energy (eg, bars with nuts). It is indicated green tea because it contains antioxidants and caffeine, which provides adequate energy. While running you can consume half a liter of water. After about an hour after finishing running, consume products rich in vitamins. Green salad and a glass of carrot juice or orange is a reliable source for getting vitamins and minerals you need.  If you want to swim, it is recommended that the body is loaded with heavy dishes . With about 20 minutes before swimming toindicate a light snack: a cup of tea or coffee, a banana or mango. Eat one hour after the conclusion of this activity. If you practice a team sport (likefootball), indicate a diet rich in carbohydrates, necessary to maintain cardiovascular strength, but also to increase muscle protein.

The food types are: proteins, carbohydrates, fat and alcohol. Each of them have a specific role in your body. The proteins usually go to your muscles, the carbohydrates are the fuel of the body, the fat and the alcohol do not have any special use.

What you have to know is that the body consumes the carbohydrates, when the carbohydrates are lost, he transform fat and proteins into carbs for energy.

The fat will not go directly on your ass, he will be kept in the short time fuel reserves, but at the end of the day it will be deposited into fat reserves in your body. The unused fat and carbohydrates are deposited, the proteins not. The proteins will be deposited as muscles only if you do physical exercises.

The proteins and carbohydrates have about 4 calories. Fat and alcohol have about 7.
