The food one eats impacts the body’s strength, ability to train and perform and most importantly its pace of recovery. Not only is the type of food important for sports nutrition but the times we eat throughout the day also has an impact on our performance levels and our bodies ability to recover after exercising. Meals eaten before and after exercise are the most important in sports nutrition but one should really be careful with everything that goes into the body. Nutritional needs vary with each phase of training, and sport nutrition promotes healthy, responsible eating at all times.
