The old adage ‘you are what
you eat’ is true. Nutritious food eaten at regular intervals will keep
your body ticking along just nicely. Too much and you put on weight: too
little and you lack energy, concentration and eventually suffer ill
health.
|
You should eat a little
and often to regulate your blood sugar and keep your mood and energy
level. Aim to eat five or six meals a day – but that’s not six
on-a-plate meals! Aim for breakfast, lunch and dinner and then
between these main meals opt for healthy, balanced nutrition – mid
morning, mid afternoon and late evening if you wish |

Sports nutrition is fast food for active people. Many people
associate sports nutrition with great tubs of protein powder for
body builders and, to be honest, they are very popular with certain
people! Many athletes take sports nutrition to support their
training, performance and recovery. And EAS is a brand enjoyed by
many professional athletes who trust is natural ingredients,
scientific testing, integrity and doping free guarantee.

Products the
Pros Use

five-a-side football player, budding body builder or weekend runner,
EAS has products that can help you boost your nutrition, support
your sport and not compromise your balanced diet.
EAS uses the finest natural ingredients in its Myoplex range and
combines these with scientific precision to deliver the ideal
balance of protein, carbohydrate, vitamins and minerals. Elite
athletes favour Myoplex and so should you – if you’re serious about
losing body fat, gaining muscle tone and maintaining a strong immune
system. All your best exercise efforts can’t work alone: what you
eat is core to your health, weight, body composition and emotional
wellbeing.
Apart from being better for you, sports nutrition products are much
more satisfying than unhealthy snacks as their protein content slows
down the carbohydrate and sugar uptake giving you steady energy and
preventing the ‘spikes’ in blood sugar that can spark mood swings.
Sports nutrition products comprise protein, carbohydrates, essential
fats, vitamins and minerals. |

Before you exercise
Don’t exercise ‘on empty’. You won’t be able to concentrate and your
body won’t be able to work hard enough to make a difference. About
an hour before, you could have a Myoplex Energy Bar. It has fast and
slow release carbohydrates to give you immediate and sustainable
energy. It’s packed with nutrients including 50% RDA of B complex
vitamins, Vitamin C and E. And it has Taurine and Chromium to help
your body use the carbohydrates while you exercise and Glutamine to
help protect your muscles and support your body’s immune system.
It’s a good choice that won’t give you belly ache! Tim Don and
Nicole Cooke enjoy one of these literally on the run and in the
saddle because it is digested quickly and gentle on the stomach.

While you exercise
Dehydration is one of the biggest causes of poor
energy. If you are doing exercise and are even as
little as 2% dehydrated, your performance is reduced
by 20%. If you’re exercising for less than an hour,
you can rehydrate sufficiently with water. If you’re
working out for longer then an iso-tonic drink -
such as EAS Energy IsoDrive - that contains sugar,
salt and minerals lost through perspiration is
highly recommended.
You should drink 2-3 litres per day of water,
diluted fruit juices, herb and fruit teas. But
remember tea, coffee, sugary drinks and alcohol
don’t count as they dehydrate you!

After
Exercise
If you’re looking for muscle definition - to give you shapely arms,
legs, back and abdominals - you need to literally feed your muscles
while they repair and re-shape. The reshaping of the muscle comes in
the recovery phase – not while working out. While you exercise
you’re breaking down the muscle. When you rest and recuperate the
muscles reform and reshape: so that’s the time you need pure
protein, amino acids and other nutrients to help the muscles
literally take shape.
You need to get nutrition to your muscles within 30 minutes of
working out to get the best effect. But if you eat a protein food –
such as meat, fish or eggs – they can’t be digested quickly enough
to reach your muscles. Top quality, pure sports nutrition protein
products CAN reach the muscles in that time frame. That’s why
professional athletes take Myoplex shakes and bars straight after
exercise. Furthermore, when you’ve just finished exercising, your
body is too busy recovering to activate an efficient digestion –
which is why if you wolf down food after exercise you can get
indigestion!
|
EAS Myoplex
shakes are easily digested and absorbed. It’s formulated
with soy and whey proteins, vitamins, minerals, and other
essential nutrients your body needs to maintain muscle
tissue, optimize fat burning and support an active
metabolism. Each serving provides high quality protein,
energy sustaining carbohydrates, 22 vitamins and minerals,
L-Glutamine to aid recovery and pre-biotic fibre to support
a healthy digestion. The sweet flavours of chocolate,
strawberry and vanilla satisfy the taste buds while the
drink satisfies your body’s immediate post-workout needs. |

Beat the
Munchies
Mid-morning and mid-afternoon munchies are the downfall of many of
us. This is when our self control deserts us – when blood sugar
levels are dropping, it’s not lunch or supper time yet. All of a
sudden, chocolate bars, biscuits and muffins look very tempting!
Reach for a Myoplex Diet Bar instead to satisfy your sweet cravings
while fuelling your body with a perfect balance of protein, amino
acids, carbohydrate, fat, vitamins and minerals. Choose from
Chocolate Nut, Chocolate Orange and Strawberry Crunch flavours.
Be What You Eat
If you’re looking to be lean, full of energy, strong and healthy –
so should your food choices. It’s not just about exercise to get
fit: good nutrition is just as important. And as much as good food
can boost your chances of achieving fitness and vitality, poor food
choices can compromise your best efforts.
