There are many books and manuals available on women’s nutrition. But, there is a lack of information available on women’s nutrition with a focus on women in sports. Jayson Hunter of Prograde Nutrition offers some advice to women in sport with regards to their nutritional needs. He believes that there is an urgent requirement for women’s nutrition information with a focus on women’s nutrition and sports.
Hunter explains, “Women are no longer considered the weaker sex anymore. They have moved into sports which were earlier considered a man’s sport. It is not surprising then that we need women’s nutrition plans with a focus on sports”. He adds, “Women’s nutrition has traditionally been associated with working women and moms. It’s about time that we look at women’s nutrition with a new perspective”.
Here are some tips for women’s nutrition with a focus on women in sports:
1) Calcium – One of the most inclusions in a women’s nutrition plan, calcium is important for good bone health. It is a mineral that plays an essential role in healthy bone growth. It also helps in muscle contraction and in general, transmission of nerve impulses.
2) Iron – It is very important in maintaining the oxygen in the blood as it is transported to the different parts of the body. Women in sports are more prone to iron deficiencies than anyone else in the world.
3) Vitamin C – The most powerful antioxidant cannot be ignored from a women’s nutrition plan. Not only does vitamin C improve energy and immunity levels, it also protects against the harmful effects of pollution.
