This consists of two different books, which are:

Beach Body - Balanced nutrition is achieved by consuming a variety of foods that provide essential nutrients in appropriate proportions to support overall health and well-being. This includes:

A sufficient intake of carbohydrates, which serve as the body's primary energy source. Complex carbohydrates from whole grains, vegetables, and legumes, along with simple carbohydrates found in fruits and sugars, contribute to stable blood sugar levels and digestive health.

Proteins are essential for building and repairing tissues, producing enzymes and hormones, and supporting immune function. They are found in lean meats, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products, beans, nuts, and seeds.

Sports Nutrition - Sports nutrition is an essential component of any athlete’s training program, playing a pivotal role in maximizing performance, promoting recovery, and enhancing overall health. Whether you are an elite competitor or a weekend warrior, the food you consume directly impacts how well your body responds to the physical and mental demands of sport. In this chapter, we will explore the relationship between nutrition and athletic performance, the importance of macronutrients and micronutrients, and why hydration is critical for sustaining high levels of physical activity.
