Athletes that are serious about their sport are serious about their nutrition. The human body is an amazing organism, capable of more than most can imagine.
Today's nutrition landscape can be a complex one, but it doesn't have to be. Every week we hear about some new (processed) wonder food that will improve our athletic performance. As is often the case, these claims are rarely true. The truth is most foods that are best for our health and sport performance are simple whole foods that are prepared by us and eaten fresh.
This is your opportunity to cut through the hype and get a clear picture of what your body really needs to excel. Sustainable Nutrition is committed to providing you with the knowledge you need to enjoy optimal health and compete at your best in your chosen sport.
Triathletes
Triathletes have rigorous training schedules that often include multiple training sessions on the same day. Recovery nutrition and high energy intake throughout the day is paramount for these busy athletes if they want to perform at their best.
Swimmers
Few athletes spend as much time practicing their craft as swimmers. Excellent nutrition is a must for these dedicated athletes. Multiple strenuous daily workouts means recovery and immune health should be a priority.
Endurance Athletes
Endurance athletes need to pay close attention to both their daily nutrition as well as race day nutrition, both are key component to success. Fuelling on the go during events is essential, and must be carefully planned and executed for the day to end right.
Youth Athletes
Young athletes benefit greatly from good eating habits. They are in a unique situation where the food they eat must fuel their body for sport, and support the healthy growth of a youngster to an adult. Good nutrition at this age can provide the foundation for a healthy life.
Vegan and Vegetarian Athletes
Vegan and vegetarian athletes are more prevalent than ever, and the ones that pay close attention to proper nutrition, including some supplementary needs, receive the dual benefit of great performance and a diet that provides great health for a lifetime.
Runners
Runners push their bodies to the limit. They require a well balanced diet of carbs, fat and protein to help them perform and recover, and they must be diligent about getting all the vitamins and minerals they need for their bodies to properly function.
Cyclists
Extended time in the saddle is just part of cycling, and cyclists have to always be aware of their energy stores if they want to finish strong. Good nutrition before, during and after events are just a few of the special considerations for these athletes.
Team Sport Athletes
Team sport athletes deal with many unique challenges. Their sports are usually high intensity, and they can often have multiple competitions within the span of a few days. Sound nutrition is vital to support these vigorous physical demands.
Masters Athletes
Masters athletes today are pushing the envelope of what was once thought possible. Special attention must be paid to the daily nutrition of these athletes to address proper nutrient intake, and to maintain both muscle mass and bone strength.
