Nutrition is an essential component of your body. It is very necessary to have a proper nutrition in your diet to sustain a healthy life. If you are indulging yourself in exercise like bodybuilding it becomes further imperative for you to have proper nutrition. Many people just focus to build their muscles and don’t focus on the nutrition. Glucose and necessary vitamins are excessively needed by your body after the exercise.
According to the traditional and primitive approach we should take tree meals in a day but modern scientific research has showed that we should be taking several smaller meals according to our routine and needs.
Time
is a very important factor in your diet. Diet should be taking at those times
when it is needed by the body. Taking lots of food at night is harmful for the
health. It tends to change in cholesterol rather to breakdown as glucose. Due
to this required amount of calories are not produced. This is the reason why
bodybuilders are advised to take their meals in the day time. So that maximum
amount of energy could be yielded from the food which is taken.
Taking in lots of food without proper planning in bodybuilding is discouraged.
Following are some of the basic facts which every body builder must know about
the necessary nutrients.
Proteins:
Protein
is one of the most important and essential element of the nutrition. This is
the element which is immensely important for growth. The largest sources for
the protein are eggs, fish, meat and dairy products. These proteins are termed
as animal proteins. Plant protein sources are rice, pea, corn and peanuts. Some
body builders rely on the plant proteins, which if properly utilized can be
extremely beneficial.

are protein supplements available in the market for body builders which should
be taken as described by your nutritionist in your gym.
Carbohydrates:
Carbohydrates
are that part of your nutrition without which life cannot sustain. It is the
direct source of energy which is needed to carryout various activities of the
daily life. Carbohydrates are further grouped into two categories on the basis
of their readiness to be broken down as glucose to yield energy. These are
termed as simple and complex carbohydrates.
Simple
carbohydrates (mono-saccharides) are readily broken down into glucose and
yields instant energy while complex (polysaccharides) are first broken down
into starch and than in glucose.
Fats:
Some
people perceive fats to be something which is always detrimental for the
health. It is not true. Balanced amount of fats are necessary for the healthy
growth of human beings. It protects various vital organs of the body. It acts
as an insulator in the body as well.
Water:
We
cannot deny the importance of water in our daily diet plan. As we perspire more
during the exercise it becomes imperative that maximum intake of water is
ensured. Water performs various important roles in the body. It acts as a
solvent and washes the kidneys.
