Five ways to boost performance through your diet
• Make sure your diet contains healthy sources of starchy carbohydrates such as potatoes, pasta, rice or cereal.
• Make sure you’re drinking enough water. If your pee is smelly and dark yellow you probably aren’t; if it’s pale yellow and doesn’t smell you probably are.
The supplement industry is big business; in fact, this year the vitamin and supplements market is thought to be worth over £400 million. As there are such large amounts of money at stake, supplement manufacturers want their products to sound almost too good to be true.
• Aim to ‘eat a rainbow’ of fruit and veg to ensure you are absorbing a wide range of nutrients from your food.
Unfortunately, many of the claims are too good to be true. That’s not to say that manufacturers lie about the potential of their products, but it’s more a case of supplementation being unnecessary in the first place, as long as individuals are otherwise healthy and eating a balanced diet rich in various plant food sources, and with good amounts of healthy fat and protein sources.
