Above all, balanced meals
Surfing is a sport that can be demanding (although it is accessible to everyone) and requires strength, endurance and flexibility. To allow you to get the most out of your surf sessions, it is important to take care of your body by adopting a healthy and balanced diet.
An optimal diet for surfing should provide the nutrients needed to support your body through long hours on the water, as well as aid recovery after exercise. Here are some tips to help you plan nutritious menus to improve your surfing performance.
First, make sure you're getting enough protein to help maintain muscle mass and promote recovery after exercise. Sources of quality protein include lean meats, fish, seafood, legumes, nuts and seeds.
Next, make sure you're consuming enough carbs to provide the energy needed for long surf sessions. Carbohydrates are the main source of energy for the body, so it is important to consume foods rich in carbohydrates such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains and pasta.
Fats are also important for maintaining good health, but choosing the right fats is important. Healthy fats such as those found in nuts, seeds, avocados and vegetable oils, which help maintain good cardiovascular health, will be ideal allies to decorate your salads for example.
Hydration, an essential
Hydration is a key element for a good surf session. It is important to drink enough water before, during and after surfing to maintain adequate hydration. During exercise, the body sweats to regulate internal temperature, which can lead to loss of water and electrolytes. Therefore, maintaining adequate hydration is crucial to avoid dehydration and optimize performance.
Before getting in the water, it is important to drink enough water to prepare for the surf session. Drinking a large glass of water 30 minutes before the session can help maintain proper hydration and prevent dehydration during exercise. Avoid sugary drinks, carbonated drinks or energy drinks, as they may contain ingredients that can dehydrate your body.
Staying hydrated is a key part of any sporting activity, and surfing is no exception. By drinking enough water before and after your surf session, you can ensure that your body is protected and ready to face the waves.
