To understand how important sports nutrition is to your body, you need to consider your individual body and health status, and the type of activity you are doing.
The short answer is that nutrition is important to everyone, but the type of sports nutrition that can benefit your body before, during and after physical activity will depend upon that activity and the duration of it.
In addition, there are individual preferences such as low calorie, low carb, low sugar. You may want nutrition with carbs, especially if you are a young or endurance athlete.
We only talk about ‘natural’ supplements on this site and banned substances would never be found in the brand we represent (guaranteed!).
If you want to learn more about basic nutrition that you want to address even before Sports Nutrition, either use the search bar to the right or start with one of these articles: Proven Vitamins and Supplements and Best Multi Vitamin.
Your busy lifestyle alone can leave you feeling tired and worn down, and then you add the stress of exercise. Don’t get me wrong, exercise is very important but it is also one more stress on your body that needs nutrition support.
Are you hurting after you exercise? Do you lack the energy to get in all of the workouts you would like to do? Do you struggle with staying hydrated during physical activity (this can be huge in how well you feel during and after).
The same way your body needs nutrition every day to stay healthy, sports nutrition is designed to support your needs before, during and after exercise and to help you feel healthier and more energetic as you work out.
The information we are sharing today about sports nutrition is designed to help make it less confusing to learn about real solutions that can benefit your body in real, measurable ways you will feel right away.
