Before
the competition or a big event, it is necessary that your body is fully
hydrated and contains enough energy to perform various tasks efficiently. The
hydration of the body is essential so that the body can give its full
performance there are various ways from which the body can be kept hydrated.
Before the event, the individual who is performing the event should drink
plenty of water or drinks such as juices or sports drinks. Before competition
sports drinks provide the required nutrients which are necessary for the body.
Eating fruits such as banana, grapes and dry fruits are ideal for furling the
body before the main event (Ratti, 2008)
Dehydration
is a serious issue and the individuals who are taking part in any competition
or sports event should definitely hydrate their body. Dehydration can cause
various health complications such as heat stroke, kidney problems, and low
blood volume which in severe cases can be life-threatening (Ratti, 2008).
Therefore it is important that the individuals must drink plenty of water and
fluids before taking part in the event so that during the event the individual
won’t suffer from dehydration and they can give their best in the event.
Drinking sports drinks, shakes and eating frits during or before the event is a
good way for keeping the body hydrated (Ratti, 2008)
For
performing exceptionally well at any event it is important that the body has
the energy to perform various tasks. In other words, fuelling up the body is
required to make it ready for tough tasks. The body can be fuelled up with lots
of food items such as yogurt, eggs, salads meat, cereals, etc. it is important
to take such a diet that is full of carbohydrates and vitamins instead of fats
and excess sugar. A healthy diet can help individuals to perform well in any
task (Plowman & Smith, 2007).
A
proper diet plan can be followed ahead of the competition or sports event so
that the body and mind both can be prepared for the event. A proper diet plan
can be established by a professional dietitian who knows which kind of foods
and drinks can be eaten during and before the event (Plowman & Smith, 2007).
