It's easy to forget just how important a role that diet plays in fitness, many people do so, and consequently do not consume appropriate foods. In contrast, those players who do consume an appropriate diet, are often able to dramatically boost their fitness, and thus have a significant advantage over other players in the game of golf.
Here are some tips that should assist you in improving your diet:
1. It is very important to select the right types of foods. For example, your foods must provide the appropriate amounts of all the necessary vitamins and minerals.
Here are some things to bear in mind when selcting food.
(a) Your diet should be predominantly based around breads and cereals, together with fruits and vegetables.
(b) You should consume meat and dairy in only moderate quantities. As far as meat is concerned, it is best to only eat lean meat, and you should try to remove all visible fat before eating. As far as dairy is concerned you should selected skimmed, trim, or reduced fat products.
(c) You should try to avoid, or at least limit your intake of foods high in sugar, such as snack foods and candies.
(d) You should try to avoid, or at least limit your intake of foods high in fat, such as deep-fried or many common types of take-away food.
(e) As well as avoiding fat when eating out, you should also try to avoid it at home. For example, instead of frying or deep frying foods, why not trying baking, boiling, steaming or roasting? Furthermore, try not to add excessive amounts of oil or butter when eating.
(f) Another way to cut back on fat is to always be on the lookout for low fat alternatives. You might be surprised what low fat products your supermarket offers - once you start looking for them!
2. It is always a good idea to eat breakfast. Breakfast kick starts your metabolism, and will ensure that you have sufficient energy to begin your game and continue through until the next time you eat. Ideally breakfast should include something along the lines of: a bowl of grain cereal, some toast with margarine and 100% fruit spread, or another for of low fat spread, and a piece of fruit.
3. Eating when playing can have a positive effect on your game. Snacking will aid you in keeping your energy levels up and enhancing your concentration during the game. obviously, if you eat on the course, it's important to eat healthy - pieces of fruit or cereal bars are ideal.
4. Many people do not drink enough water. If you drink plenty of water, you can ensure that you remain hydrated, which in turn will help you maintain your levels of concentration and energy. It's a good idea to have a drink before leaving your house, and then continue to drink at regular intervals. Don't wait until you start to feel thirsty - as this is a sign that your body is already become dehydrated.
Eating both the correct amount and types of food, will not only improve your game directly, but can also help you remain at the correct weight (or lose weight if necessary). Obviously being the correct weight is good for your health and fitness - and it helps with your golf too!
