Endurance (Stamina)
What should I eat to build endurance?
What should I eat?
Endurance sports require long periods of exercise, which consumes a lot of energy and causes great damage to the body. The main sources of energy during exercise are carbohydrates and lipids, with protein also being used. When the intensity of exercise increases, carbohydrates in particular are used as energy.
In other words, it is important to consume plenty of rice, bread, and noodles, which contain carbohydrates.
In addition, the presence of B vitamins is essential for metabolizing carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins into energy. As exercise intensity increases and more carbohydrates are used as an energy source,It has been found that vitamin B1 is particularly depleted.
Therefore, in order to improve endurance, it is necessary to not only get carbohydrates but also vitamin B1 from your diet.
What nutrients are related to endurance?
Many children who play endurance sports suffer from iron deficiency anemia. Be aware of foods that contain iron from a young age and try to prevent anemia. Iron is a nutrient that is difficult to digest and absorb, so it is recommended to eat foods rich in vitamin C, which helps with iron absorption. Make sure to eat plenty of vegetables at every meal, and combine them with sour citrus fruits (kiwi, strawberry, orange, etc.).
It's something you can incorporate into your daily life, so why not give it a try?
