In life, one thing is certain: you can not influence pollution and noise, the pace of life and everyday stress, but you can influence your diet.
Proper nutrition and well-chosen food can achieve significant effects in improving training and its results. Training enhances physical and psychological activity and metabolism, so the energy and nutritional needs of all those who are actively training more than the needs of people who do not do sports.
Pravilna ishrana je individualna stvar svakog pojedinca, pa tako i osobe koja se bavi sportom. Najbolje je ako se za određenu fizičku aktivnost njeno planiranje određuje pojedinačno, ali postoje i neka opšta pravila koja se savetuju onima koji se rekreativno bave sportom.
Proper nutrition is an individual matter of every human and so is the person involved in sports. It is best if its planning is determined individually for a particular physical activity, but there are some general rules that are advised for those who are into recreational sports.
More fluids
Water should be consumed throughout the day and not just during or after training. The optimal amount of water we should drink each day, whether we train or not, is calculated when dividing the body mass by six. The number obtained is the number of glasses of water that is needed daily for the organism to function properly.
If we train regularly, we must increase the water amount by and additional liter. When training with medium intensity in moderate climatic conditions, 1-2 liters of sweat per hour can be lost. This means that a person with an average weight of about 75 kg can lose about two percent of his body weight. The loss of liquid should therefore be compensated not only with water, but also with natural fruit juices, but not sweetened teas or soups.
Daily diet rhythm
Prilikom planiranja ishrane osoba koja je fizički aktivna pored pravilnog kombinovanja hranljivih materija, potrebno je da obrati pažnju i na pripremu hrane i raspored obeda.

Morning snack should consist mainly of fruit and fruit juices to compensate for the loss of liquid. The afternoon snack, due to glycogen replacement, must be rich in carbohydrates, which is why biscuits, pudding, grizzly, fruit salads, fruit cakes are most commonsly used during this period.
