Tips to excel in sports (Food For Sports):

1. Aim on the Food: Your first and foremost target needs to be the food. Since being a sportsman you practice and exercise a lot, so you need to look forward into getting the proper diet for yourself. So eat as much as you can manage, wherever you be.
2. Be Energetic: Carbohydrates are the means of being energetic and increasing the response time. In almost every game such as cricket, Basketball and football, Response time is the thing given special care. Also to be active for longer hours in games such as Bike Racing, Marathons, carbohydrates are required to be eaten to maintain the pace so that the sportsman does not fall short of energy in the long run.
3. Recover Fast: Injuries in sports are common as you all know and they are merely controllable by us. Although we can do a lot to decrease the chances for one by using right equipment and following rules and regulations but still these are a part and parcel of every game. That's why we are left with taking into care the "Protein" intake which serves the purpose for better and efficient recovery of injuries. We're fatigued after a tough workout and at that very instance proteins and carbohydrates will help you recover fast for the next day as routine must be managed and their no thing like holiday in a sportsman's life. After all its a worship and you are in-charge of the same.
4. Pre-Exercise Diet: Easily digestible stuff is a beneficiary before a workout. Peanut butter intake with a glass of milk is suggested for sportsmen. Also low fiber natural fruit juice is good to have.
5. Proper Hydration: Water, the holiest of all drinks is the best to be hydrated. Although other drinks and fruit juices can be used too. Proper intake of water will reduce dizziness and will boost your body and make you more energetic. It is recommended to drink atleast 2-3 cups of a liquid 2 hours and 1-2 cups 30 minutes before the workout. To take a note of the water level, checkout you urine color. Pale yellow indicates you are having a good amount of water while dark yellow counts for having more water.
6. Post-Exercise Diet: All your inner food stores to boost you are emptied after 1-2 hours of workout. So to bring the stock up again, eat within 30 minutes after workout some carbohydrate rich food. Cereals, Low fat milk, juice can be helpful to refuel yourself.
