The Benefits of Sports

Playing sports helps you stay in shape, teaches you how to organize your time, boosts
friendships, and builds relationships with your peers and adults. Through athletics, you gain
skills that help you in all aspect of your life
1. Sports Nutrition
When practicing in sports for the first time, you may feel hungrier than usual. This is normal,
because your body is spending much more energy than it is used to. Here are some nutrition tips to help keep you
healthy while you participate in sports.
 Eat fat. About 20 to 25 percent of energy comes from fats, so to keep energy levels high, your body needs
you to consume fat.
 Make sure to eat before, during, and after your sport. The helps maintain blood glucose levels, which in turn
will help improve your sports performance.
 Keep hydrated! When playing a sport, your body loses a lot of fluid, which can cause dehydration. This is
dangerous – and potentially fatal – so drink plenty of water.
 Eat a balanced diet. An athlete's diet should include plenty of complex carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins,
minerals, and fats.
 Limit salt and simple sugar.
2. School
Participating in sports can have a positive effect on school. Sports force you to organize your time so that you can
both go to practice and finish your homework. The key is finding a balance. If you can learn to organize your time
,then you can succeed in both.
