Whole foods, balancing macronutrients and timing meals strategically are known factors to optimise energy, recovery, and overall health. There are other fundamental key factors to consider in the drive for optimal athletic performance as well as immunity.

Micronutrients, including vitamins and minerals, antioxidants and cellular energy enhancement all play a part for energy production, muscle function, and recovery, as well as immunity. Antioxidants play an important role to reduce oxidative stress, which often arises with exercise when there is an imbalance between the production of free radicals and the body’s ability to counteract their harmful effects. Cellular energy is energy that cells use to carry out essential processes necessary for survival, growth, and function. It also plays a critical role in athletic performance.

We undertake a comprehensive review and give recommendations on all these various factors.
