So we eat food for energy, which aids in our growth and development, & in turn regulates our bodies processes, and keeps us from getting sick and developing degenerative diseases.
WHAT DOES EXERCISE DO?
When we exercise we breakdown muscles for growth which in turn makes us stronger, we increase our heart rate which in turn moves the blood through out the body so we can deliver nutrients efficiently and repair the breakdown of muscles. Exercise also helps us maintain our weight, increase our metabolism processes, and provides the ability for our body to enhance all the things we actually want it to do.
INSIDER SECRETS
Now that you know the basics of what vital nutrients do and why we need them, lets move into secrets to nutrient density so we can select the all the right foods and exercises so that we can reach our goals.
1. Hire a Coach: Everyone can benefit from a coach but if you’re still unsure how to match your nutrition to your workouts, a coach is the easiest most efficient way to guide you in reaching your goals.
- Conversion of Knowledge: you may know a lot about nutrition or even a lot about exercise but sometimes it is confusing or time consuming to blend the two in order to have the best outcome.
- Energy Pathways: A coach understands that there are three energy pathways that match up to the types of exercises you may be performing. One whom is a sprinter, gymnast, football player needs to consume food differently than a distance runner, swimmer, or cyclist. When your talking about optimal energy and performance. Even one whom is trying to build muscle mass will eat differently than one whom wants to gain lean long muscles. Add in there weight loss, weight gain, and fat loss each play a role of specificity and tailor ability to a specific person it gets complicated and coach knows how to direct individuals in the right direction.
- Physiology & Wellness: Most importantly a coach will understand the bodies physiology in a way they can facilitate repair and rebuilding of muscles, while meeting performance goals, and at the same time promote overall health and wellness in the individual. Trust me there are ways to reach goals that are not healthy actually even detrimental to your health. Hire a quality coach when your stuck.
2. Individualize Nutrition Plan: There is no one size fits all nutrition plan.
- My Friends Doing It: Often times we see our friends losing weight and we want to lose weight too so we just match our plan to their plan. Honestly they could have grabbed that plan from who knows where. Sure the plan might work for a minute, but even though goals might be met damages to your body could be developing and eventually the weight can come one turbo speed when one quits.
- Wasting Time: Sure the basics may be there but to really stop wasting your time by putting in a lot of work but taking big steps back, one must invest in an individualized plan from a professional. Investing in a plan that requires greater knowledge than diets you found on social media, from a friend with no background knowledge, whom may even possibly achieved what you want will save time, money, and your health in the long run.
- Energy Metabolism: Imagine this your an explosive gymnast and your eating during your activity like a marathoner this could hinder your performance greatly. A gymnast exerts 2 minutes of explosive exercise than will have time to replenish energy before the next event. Although a marathoner needs to eat during activity because it takes hours before completion of the event and energy needs to be consistently replaced.
3. Time Constraints: Life commitments, school, work, workout schedule, kids and more often get in the way of planning and preparing workouts and meals that match our needs.
- Strategic Planning: When applying nutrition to your fitness goals it is vital for success to have a prepared plan that is creative in that it meets realistically your lifestyle.
- Perfect Calculation: Often by the time you get up, workout, get kids prepped for school, drive to work, start working, take a break, skip meals, drive home, get kids, do homework, prep dinner, eat dinner, clean kitchen, kids bathed, kids to bed, you to bed ahhh... all of a sudden we skipped breakfast, no snack, only drank coffee until lunch but at lunch we at fast food because we are so hungry we cant wait, we then forget our next snack because we are worried about the kids doing homework although we prepare them a snack, forget ourself, prep dinner, now we eat too much a dinner because we lack the focus to stay on track due to exhaustion.
- Invest in Help: Hire a professional to take your chaos and turn it into a plan you can actually do realistically. Let a professional do the dirty work so you can meet your goals realistically, maintain your goals efficiently, and ultimately be healthy optimally.
4. Control & Be Flexible: Finding the right nutrition plan, that matches up to your fitness plan that will meets the specificity to your specific lifestyle often take few trial and errors.
- Hired Professional: Maybe you hired a professional one time and the plan didn’t work for you the first week so you quit. Often times what we tell our professional we thought would work out and they design something that we though would fit together and maybe it didn’t. Its always important to remain flexible and resilient to tweaking changes
How do we increase the nutrient density in our foods then?
How do we naturally decrease the value of our nutrients time between picking the food and consumption, how we cook and prepare our foods, what we pair our foods with, properly cleansing.
What can we do about it?
Ideally we buy organic, never processed, from a local farmer, the day we pick it we eat it, and pair it with complimentary foods that have all the nutrients we need in it, Oh and Don't forget exercise right before we eat so we have prepared the body to absorb our nutrients most efficiently.
Yeah ok right in a perfect world that would just be fantastic right.
What are our problems time, money, convenience, kids, sports, work, help, access to farmers markets the list goes on right.
