Nutrition for Performance targets the demands of physical activity. It focuses on strategic macronutrient intake to support energy, recovery, and body composition. This might involve increased protein for muscle repair, timed carbohydrate intake for sustained energy, and careful hydration due to its critical role in athletic performance. But the importance of nutrient-dense foods isn't overlooked. Vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants from a variety of sources aid in immune function, inflammation reduction, and overall health - vital for maintaining peak performance over time. This can include fat loss, muscle gain, or maintenance.
