It is important to adopt a balanced diet and healthy eating rules, with few but important rules, never skipping breakfast, measuring in balanced way carbohydrates, proteins and fats, trying to consume fruits and vegetables five times a day and avoiding sugary drinks, snacks between meals, and whatever is considered as junk food.
Normal foods with healthy reputation are increasingly popular among people who do sport for health reasons and want natural products. While on the one hand some believed that ‘sport’ nutrition would become a mass phenomenon and that foods designed for athletes would become the prerogative of all - and this happened to a certain extent – the trend going in the opposite direction is by far more important. ‘All natural’ foods are becoming more and more attractive to the world of sport.
