Untrue Myths About Sports Nutrition Foods

There are many untrue myths about what you should and shouldn’t do with foods. I have chosen three of the most familiar myths and made it clear, as to why, they are only, myths. Understanding sports nutrition food properties is an important part of building a good physique. I think we can all be guilty of thinking that potatoes should be avoided, or raw vegetables are best and chicken breast is the best part of the chicken, here are a few sports nutrition myths explained and we have written this just to show that food is just as important as sports nutrition supplements.

(1) Don’t cook your vegetables! Not True

Scientists have shown that the heating of vegetables can ease the absorption of antioxidants by changing their structure For instance, lycopene the cancer antioxidant, is more potent in pasta sauce than it is in raw tomatoes. Spinach and carrots have a higher strength beta-carotene when cooked. Italian studies have shown that when broccoli is steamed it contains more glucosinolates-plant compounds high in cancer fighting agents.

The way in which your vegetables are cooked is important. Grilling or griddling with a tiny drop of oil, steaming or microwaving are the best ways to cook preserving the nutrients. Boiling is a definite no.

(2) Chicken breasts are the best part of the chicken! Not True

If you were to ask anyone which is the best part of the chicken ? There answer would be the breast.

Well it is not true! Legs and thighs are protein packed, more flavoursome, and have nearly the same amount of saturated fats and calories. They have more testosterone boosting zinc. So as long as you remove the skin the benefits are greater with legs and thighs than with breasts.

(3) Avoid white potatoes! Not True

Fair enough chips need to be avoided, but the potato has a part to play in shaping your body. The potato is a fast digesting carbohydrate, which is exactly what you need directly after a workout. If you eat one or two potatoes directly after workout you will push levels of insulin, the anabolic hormone that drives amino acids, glucose and creatine into your muscles to aid recovery and growth.
