7.0 Athlete fuel

Any person or individual who engages in physical activity needs to maintain a fuel and nutrient-rich diet. Certain foods provide our bodies with “fuel” to perform exercise. These foods are those rich in carbohydrates, as carbs fuel your work out. If you train when you are low on carbs, then the depleted stores will make you feel tired and your workout will be ineffective.

Açaí is the perfect example of a nutritious carbohydrate rich food. It provides an athlete with energy from carbohydrates, calcium to maintain bone health and muscle contraction, and iron to help your body circulate oxygen to your muscles during exercise.

With exercise, our bodies sweat and lose essential salts and minerals. By having Açaí after a workout, it will provide your body with a good combination of carbohydrate, protein, fats and minerals. Another benefit of Açaí for the athlete is its high antioxidant content. Exercise equals stress in our bodies, which translates to an increase in free radicals. Açaí’s antioxidants may help out bodies with the high stress our tissues experience with exercise.
