Sports Nutrition Science for an Active Lifestyle
WHATEVER YOUR CURRENT ACHIEVEMENTS
AS AN ATHLETE AND/OR REGULAR SPORTS
COMPETITOR, YOUR NEW GOAL IS ALWAYS TO
IMPROVE - TO GET STRONGER, FASTER, JUMP
HIGHER OR RUN LONGER.
WHETHER YOU’RE IN PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE,
OR YOU’VE JUST ADDED A BASIC AMOUNT OF
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY TO YOUR DAILY LIFESTYLE,
YOUR BODY NEEDS SOUND NUTRITION TO GET
OFF TO THE RIGHT START. AND SO IT’S VITAL
THAT YOU NURTURE YOUR BODY WITH THE VERY
BEST NUTRITION AVAILABLE TO MAINTAIN THE
HIGH LEVEL OF PERFORMANCE YOU EXPECT.
The equation is quite simple: What you put in, you get out! Is your current
“fuel supply” providing your body with everything
you need? If you are not sure whether to reply “yes”
or “no,” read through the following statements, and
we’ll show you how Herbalife can supply you with a
nutritional edge.
 |
My body needs a highly nutritious diet to provide the carbohydrates needed for fuel and protein for muscle maintenance. |
|
I need good supplies of vitamins and minerals to thoroughly utilize my body’s fuel supply. |
|
Physical exertion creates excess free-radical activity, so I need powerful antioxidants to help neutralize the free radicals and assist in
reducing recovery time. |
Herbalife provides high-quality nutrition that feeds the body, is easy to use and tastes
great. For over 27 years we have helped people all over the world manage their weight,
achieve good nutrition and overall health. Herbalife can also help athletes and active
people reach their nutrition requirements. The science of sports nutrition is complex
and often confusing. But it can be simplified to four basic components:
- FUEL
- REFUEL
- REPAIR
- RECOVER
FUEL
Carbohydrates = Uses Fuel
All activities use fuel, which is measured in
calories and often referred to as energy.
Unfortunately, many of us leave the house on
a half-full tank, or even worse. In order to
run effectively, it is important to make sure
our fuel tanks are properly filled. Our
immediate-use fuel is stored in muscles.
The quick-burning fuel our bodies use
are carbohydrates such as bread, pasta,
rice, vegetables, fruit and sugar. When
we eat carbohydrates they
are converted in the body
and stored as muscle glycogen - thus
filling up the fuel tank.
REFUEL
Keep in mind that our window of
opportunity for maximum-potential
glycogen replenishment occurs within
the first 30 minutes after exercise. This
simply means that we have a 30-minute
opportunity when our fuel tanks–our
muscles–are most receptive toward being
refilled.
REPAIR
Protein = Repair
After exercise, we should also take in high-quality
protein. Every activity in life damages muscle
cells. Of course, the more strenuous the activity
or the exercise, the more damage that occurs.
Adequate, high-quality protein assists muscle
cells in repairing themselves.
RECOVER
Research suggests that antioxidant nutrients
assist in reducing recovery time by helping the
body combat free-radical damage. The active
body creates a large amount of free radicals in
several ways. One way is by simply breathing in
far more oxygen than a non-active person does.
By minimizing free-radical production, the athlete
can potentially reduce the amount of recovery
time needed between events. Reducing free-radical
damage may:
- speed up lactic-acid-removal mechanisms
- reduce muscle-fibril degradation
- increase glycogen resynthesis
The Foundation of Well-Being
Cellular Nutrition
Whether you need to improve your nutritional intake,
increase energy, gain muscle, or are looking to lose weight, your body
needs nutrients at the cellular level to deliver results.
Cellular Nutrition,
the foundation of Herbalife’s wellness philosophy,
is designed to address these specific concerns.
This scientifically advanced system is the reason why people who use Herbalife
products say they “feel” the Herbalife difference.
When you provide your body’s cells with the
nutrition they need, you enable your body
to function at its very best. As a result, your
metabolic rate improves, you feel more balanced,
your immune system is supported, energy levels
soar and your body can stay active longer.
To do all that is as easy as 1, 2, 3 -
Formulas 1, 2, 3 that is!
Essential Nutrition
For the Active Body
A key component of enjoying a lifetime of well-being is regular exercise. Studies have shown that just 30 minutes of
accumulated daily activity can dramatically reduce your risk of some diseases and improve your overall health. Herbalife
understands the importance of physical fitness and has developed an Active-Body Program to help you get the most out of your
workout. Whether you enjoy long, quiet walks in the park or more vigorous bike rides on mountain terrain, Herbalife’s Active-Body
Program can help you stay in peak performance on or off the playing field.
Advanced Nutrition
For the Athlete
As an athlete, keeping in fit physical condition
is a top priority. Every day you demand that your
body performs at its utmost best,
so it’s only natural that you would
demand the best nutrition to feed it.
And because you work your body
harder than most, your nutritional
requirements for maximizing your
performance are different than most.
Herbalife’s Athlete’s Program is designed
to help you get the “competitive
edge” - naturally. It has everything you need to
turn in a winning performance again and again and again.
