Athletes Nutrition – TOP 15 NUTRITION TIPS

Baseball Nutrition Program

I guess the first athlete nutrition tip would be to make sure to get the Butter Free Popcorn next time you are at a game.

But, no seriously these Top 15 athlete Nutrition Tips will increase sports performance beyond any drills or lessons you may be doing now. You would be shocked if I listed the Professional and Olympic Athletes who have followed this exact athlete nutrition program listed below. Maybe another time I will share that info with you.

You are what you eat and you are always your next meal away from great energy. So if you are Ready here we go!

1. This Athlete nutrition program calls for you to Choose low glycemic nutrient dense foods. High glycemic choices cause

blood sugar levels to race out of control causing a health damaging, over

production of insulin, blunted hGH levels, fat storage, poor energy levels, and

eventually heart disease and diabetes.

2. Eat a high quality source of protein with each meal. (Chicken, cold-water

fish, turkey, lean red meats, egg whites, soy, hydrolyzed whey protein

concentrate)

3. This Athlete nutrition program calls for you to Focus on consuming the essential fatty acids from fish oils, flax seed oil,

borage oil, evening primrose oil, lean meats.

4. This Athlete nutrition program calls for you to Avoid vegetable oils that are processed or hydrogenated turning them into

dangerous trans-fatty acids. Most packaged foods are loaded with these

unhealthy fats.

5. This Athlete nutrition program calls for you to Drink one half your body weight in ounces of purified or filtered water

daily. The best time to drink water is between your meals. Water is essential

for proper hydration, nutrient absorption and increasing your metabolic

efficiency.

6. This Athlete nutrition program calls for you to Consume a majority of your carbohydrates from organic vegetables, organic fruits, and a variety of beans. Limit your consumption of breads, rice, potatoes, and

processed or enriched foods. Fruits and vegetables are very nutrient dense foods containing many vitamins, minerals, phyto-nutrients and fiber protecting you from the

aging effects of free radicals and protecting the cell walls from breaking

down leading to heart disease.

TIP: Eat 1 Organic Apple A Day

7. Supplement with Organic Shiljit Minerals (over 84 minerals) and Multi-Greens mix

formula to fill in the nutrient gaps missing from your diet.

8. This Athlete nutrition program protocol calls for you to Eat a balance of protein, carbohydrates and fats at every meal. Strive to keep

your ratios as close to 30% protein, 40% low glycemic carbohydrates

and 30% fats as possible. The USDA food pyramid recommends ratios of

15% protein, 60% high glycemic carbohydrates and 25% fat, the same ratios

as Swine Fattening Formula, used by farmers everywhere.

9. Use Scott Magers NutriSource Meal Replacement Shake every other meal to keep fromskipping meals, to help get enough quality protein, to keep the metabolismburning strong and for overall convenience when your schedule is busy.

10. This Athlete nutrition program protocol calls for you to Strive to eat small meals every 3-4 hours during the day to maintain

stabilized blood sugar and keep energy levels high.

11. Exercise regularly, choosing weight-training exercises supplemented

with some cardiovascular training. Always use an electrolyte drink during

heavy training sessions to combat the loss of vital minerals such as potassium

magnesium and other aspartates lost while sweating.

12. Get a solid 7-8 hours of sleep each night to allow the body to repair itself

from the previous day. Missing sleep can be very stressful on the body.

13. Measure your specific needs for protein by subtracting your body fat in

pounds from your total body weight giving you your lean body mass. Multiply

your lean body mass by your activity level .5 inactive to 1.0 heavy activity to

get the exact grams of protein you need daily. Multiply that number by 2 to

get your carbohydrate requirement in grams. Take your protein in grams

multiply it by 4 and divide by 9 to get the grams of fat you are to consume.

14 . Avoid EMF’s at All costs (Electro Magnetic Frequencies; cell phones, microwaves, satellite, car, computer, monitor, fax, can opener, phone, dryer, hair dryer, vacuum (yes the vacuum is a HUGE ENERGY KILLER)
