Herbalife & Sport
Whether you are a professional athlete or playing sport as a regular participant, your performance will be greatly influenced by the nutrition that you put into your body. Professional sports people usually have their diets strictly monitored by their coaches or have their own dietitian. And, regardless of what advertisements that some of the sports people take part in for pre-packaged products, it is very unlikely that they would be eating the types of food that are of low nutritional value packing preservatives and artificial flavours.
The formula is quite simple. You get out what you put in. Herbalife have been supporting both the professional and amateur sports person with top quality nutrition, both with their high quality protein products as well as their top of the range antioxidants.
Herbalife's Sport Assistance Principles
Herbalife products can be used by people going to the gym as well as people who train and compete in sports either professionally or as a serious hobby. To compete effectively you need a balance of quality carbohydrates for energy, protein for muscle-building and sufficient vitamins and minerals to ensure that all the functions of your body are working at their peak.
- Fueling - Thirty minutes prior to working out have a Formula 1 Shake Mix with Personalised Protein Powder. This will provide immediate fuel in the form of carbohydrates and helps conserve the stored fuel in the muscles.
- Hydrating - During training and competition drink fluid every 15 minutes. Drink water with Herbal Aloe Concentrate.
- Refueling - Drink a refreshing LiftOff to give you an instant energy boost. This is an effervescent drink that contains caffeine, guarana and taurine to supply a fast energy boost when needed without the subsequent energy dive.
- Repairing - For muscle repair drink Formula 1 Shake Mix in a protein rich beverage such as milk, soy milk or yoghurt. Add Personalised Protein Powder for extra protein.
- Recovery - Letting the body recover from a strenuous workout is important. Looking after your joints is important to most sports people. Joint Support Advanced contains Glucosamine Sulphate, a more effective form of Glucosamine for joint health. RoseOx is a high quality antioxidant that maximises the effect of other antioxidants like vitamin E and C. The Herbalife Multivitamin Complex is a comprehensive vitamin and mineral complex that is couched in herbs that assist with absorption.
