Which superfoods can improve your physical performance?
By Andréa Marcelli, manager of Soil Seed
Athletes are often looking for "methods" and "supplements" to improve their performance and physique. Many often resort to poor quality protein powders that can harm their health.
The truth is that with a proper diet and a few superfoods, it is possible to achieve excellent results, both in terms of performance and fitness.
Since the beginning Sol Semilla has given itself a gastronomic and joyful orientation to the use of superfoods. Therefore, we are neither doctors nor personal trainers, but we carefully select foods for those who want to improve their diet. This selection is particularly intended for those who want to make it also targeted for sport.
Focus on certain products
Spirulina
Spirulina microalgae is nutritious, invigorating and useful for countering dietary and nutritional deficiencies.
Many of its proteins are biliproteins, which have been predigested by algae.
By consuming 10 to 15 grams of protein per day in this form, the body is satisfied and needs less animal protein.
This means you can eat less meat and get more protein.
Protein is important not only for building muscle and strength, but also for balancing blood sugar levels, brain chemistry, building strong bones, and more.
Spirulina has antioxidant properties that help athletes and sportspeople reduce oxidative damage, one of the causes of muscle fatigue.
How to use it?
You can add a teaspoon to apple or pear juice, to juice from a centrifuge/extractor or sprinkle it in powder or twig form on your salads and/or raw vegetables.
Also find in our , the Green Boost, “Energy” vegetable broth Spirulina/Ginger or even the Supertopping “Green origin” hemp/Spirulina!
Maca
This adaptogenic root from Peru contains high levels of iron which makes it important for transporting oxygen in the blood and calcium needed for proper muscle function, and amino acids, which serve many functions in the body, but are particularly useful for energy production and muscle recovery.
Maca increases vitality, energy and endurance.
