FOOD & SPORT
Optimized sports performance

Energy: choose carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are, along with lipids, the essential energy source of muscle. Foods contain different types: slow carbohydrates (fructose, some starches) and fast carbohydrates (glucose, etc.) which have complementary nutritional characteristics. Pair them for a "starter" effect combined with "background" energy.

Performance: hydrate and re-mineralize

The practice of any physical activity leads to a loss of water and minerals (perspiration, metabolic use). We now know that even minimal dehydration causes a drop in efficiency and can be the cause of poor performance. Rich in water and various minerals, fresh plants help improve the body's hydration.

Recovery: fight against acidity

The accumulation of lactic acid, naturally produced during physical exertion, promotes the appearance of stiffness and increases the impression of physical fatigue. Fresh fruits and vegetables, strongly alkalizing foods, fight against this acidity, thus promoting recovery.

Neutralize free radicals: consume antioxidants

Physical activity causes an increase in the production of free radicals, very reactive molecules that attack our cells. Our tissues have defense systems against these attacks, and certain micronutrients contained in food neutralize them. These are, in particular, vitamins C and E, carotenoids and polyphenols, present in fresh plants.

Other foods, on the contrary, contain readily available carbohydrates: a helping hand to get you started! Sugar, glucose, white bread, mashed potatoes or carrots are some of these starter foods.

Fast and slow carbohydrates are therefore complementary. It is important to combine them for optimal effectiveness.


Good associations
Combine starchy foods and fresh vegetables for good carbohydrate complementarity and optimal micronutrient intake.

Some suggestions:
- Whole rice salad, tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce,
- Wholemeal pasta, fennel, green beans, tomatoes,
- Whole semolina, ratatouille,
- Stewed lentils and carrots,

Enjoy the minerality of fresh fruits and vegetables

The method of preparation influences the mineral richness of fruits and vegetables. Here are some rules to limit losses:
- raw vegetables: wash them quickly, without leaving them to soak,
- opt for steaming (beans, broccoli, cauliflower, etc.), simmering (ratatouille, Vichy carrots, spinach, leeks, etc.) or sautéed vegetables (zucchini, peppers, bean sprouts, etc. .),
- regularly consume vegetable broths and homemade soups, also rich in minerals.

Our 100% natural tips to relieve heavy legs pain Plants to stimulate venous return And our grandmothers have a lot to teach us to stimulate venous return. They have common sense advice. To relieve heavy legs quickly, nothing like doing "feet on the wall" or passing a jet of cold water over the legs. But not only that, because the plants our grandmothers used are still relevant today. Plants were at the center of symptomatic treatments for venous insufficiency, and they still are. Among them, horse chestnut, a so-called phlebotonic plant whose effects have been the best studied. In horse chestnut, substances are found which have a protective and stimulating effect on the walls of veins and small blood vessels, and which reduce inflammation and swelling. Fragon (also called small holly) has comparable properties. The witch hazel leaves and red vine leaves are also interesting. They contain tannins and flavonoids, which also gives them veinotonic and protective hair effects. The...

RESISTANCE EXERCISE: A MUST FOR OLDER'S ...  Resistance exercise has already been documented as beneficial to muscle health of course, but also to bone health, it also helps prevent the risk of certain diseases, including type 2 diabetes. This Michigan Medicine study tells us why and how resistance training is essential for the health of the elderly, evidence from the literature to support it. Yet, for many older people, resistance exercise is not a part of everyday life. One of the reasons why very few seniors see themselves living as 100 years old is that the majority of them associate old age with physical and cognitive decline, loss of autonomy and poor quality of life, explains the lead author, Dr. Mark Peterson, associate professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation in Michigan. Still, it is possible, with certain lifestyle measures, to live old and healthy. Strength and resistance, for healthier aging This position paper, supported by the National Strength and Condition...
