What is the connection between exercise and diet?

Nutrients can be divided into 2 groups:

- Nutrients that give energy: proteins, carbohydrates and fats,
- Nutrients that do not give energy: vitamins and minerals.

Pattern of nutrients to form energy:

1. Carbohydrates: these are the first source of energy for the operation of the muscles, and provide energy in the presence of oxygen or without it.

2. Proteins: these break down into energy after starving or long physical activity, which causes reduction in the amount of muscles.

3. Fats: these are used after about 20 minutes of physical activity, ie, your body fat starts decreasing after only 20 minutes of exercise.

Regular exercise uses up nutrients and burns excess fat optimally. It also speeds up metabolism, so your body processes food calories faster.

You must use a certain amount of nutrients to provide satisfactory energy supply to your body. The table below shows the optimal distribution of nutrients to ensure a perfect balance in energy supply.
