Diet and Martial Arts

[Spodo Komodo]

Part of me thinks I am too old for this sort of change, but I realise I need to sort my diet out if I am going to progress with my new style of karate that I am now trying to train in.

Never too old to change to a healthy diet, I'm 46 and benefiting immensely from getting my nutrition sorted. All I can add is, log your food truthfully and then you will see where you need to make the changes. Don't make changes blind. I don't know how clued up you are about nutrition but Futurelearn are offering a free online course in Nutrition and Wellbeing next month from the University of Aberdeen. It is likely to be basic but they are generally well produced, interesting and not pushing expensive supplements like some online courses I have seen.

Thanks for that, I will have a look at that when I get a minute.

I have already upped my water intake as well as looking at healthier options for breakfast etc. My main issues are lunch and dinner (especially when I am on a late shift or night shift!)
