Use these tips to achieve a balanced diet and get the most out of exercise!
Our diet is made up of macronutrients (carbohydrates, protein, fats and water), and micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals. Macronutrients provide your body with energy for exercise and carbohydrates are the body’s main fuel source, but fat is also great for less intense exercise such as jogging. Protein helps to rebuild muscle tissue after exercise, aiding your recovery. Water is the fourth macronutrient; it makes up about 60% of an adult human body and is essential for us to live!
Healthy foods to include in your diet:
– Carbohydrates such as whole wheat pasta, rice, potatoes, chickpeas, quinoa and vegetables.
– Protein such as fish, eggs, chicken, tofu, yoghurt, legumes, beans, almonds and milk.
– Fat such as fatty fish, avocados, dark chocolate, nuts, seeds and olive oil.
