Nutrition & Exercise After Sport

11/27/2018

0 Comments

 
Eating disorders are all around us. For the female and weight-class athlete,  those competing in aesthetic sports, there's tremendous societal pressure surrounding how an athlete should physically look. 

We often forget that there is an emotional component to nutrition and exercise. We must continue to address the athlete beyond that of sport. They are human and most of the time at greatest risk of developing chronic injury and disease states; especially, upon athletic retirement. 

It's inevitable for competitive athletic participation to come to an end and the learned behaviors relating to nutrition and exercise upon that of athletic participation are significant factors that must be addressed to assist the athlete in developing a healthy relationship with food, exercise and a newfound love for themself beyond that of sport. 

Check out this video from youtube - starring a US Volleyball star - addressing mental health and eating disorder in sport. 

It is my job to help the athlete achieve a sustainable and enjoyable nutrition and exercise regimen that promotes #AChampionForLIFE.

Bedtime Snacking Myth Buster

11/10/2018

Athlete Myth Buster: a lot of athletes think they shouldn't eat after dinner - any calories later in the day being stored as "fat". I'm here to tell you that is NOT the case! 

Eating a protein-rich snack a few hours before bed is actually a HUGE component to muscle recovery, build and injury prevention. The muscle acts like a sponge and during sleep, you get a spike in muscle hormones (e.g. HGH). The protein consumed in the evening is quickly taken up into the muscles - accelerating recovery from the days heavy training and reducing muscle soreness going into the following day! 

A few weeks back I played around with bedtime snacks and successfully created a Fall/Winter Apple Cobbler - containing @Quaker rolled oats and @OrchardValleyHarvest Glazed Pecans/Pumpkin Seeds/Dried Cranberries. Top it off with some Greek Yogurt/Frozen Yogurt and you have yourself fantastic evening snack to best #FuelForTheGOLD. 

Be on the lookout for the recipe. I will be posting it to my Official ATP Sports Nutrition Page and my blog on my official website: www.atpsportsnutrition.com :)

Hydrating During the Winter Months

11/2/2018

0 Comments

 

Although the temperature is dropping and winter sports are now in-season, HYDRATION is still a vital component to you, the athlete, training.

As proactive as we are - staying adequately hydrated during the summer, we oftentimes lose sight of hydrating during the winter.

Instead of relying on how sweaty you may physically feel, it is best to check for measures of hydration status. Follow these tips to help you maintain good hydration:

1. Check the color of your urine. Your urine should be pale yellow to clear. If it appears dark in color, that is an indicator of dehydration and to consume more fluids.

2. Thirst. If you are thirsty, you are already 2% dehydrated!

3. Weigh yourself before training and then immediately after - the weight lost during your workout is water. It is recommended to drink 2 cups of water for every 1 pound lost to replenish.

4. Drink 1/2 cups to 2 cups of water every 20-30min and consider use of a sports drink when training over 60min, at a moderate to high intensity.

I hope this helps and feel free to reach out regarding adequate hydration!
