What should professional bodybuilders pay attention to in their diet?

Bodybuilders can still eat oil and salt one month before the competition, but only sunflower oil is used as oil. Water and oil control will be started only three days before the competition, in order to maintain good muscle separation.

Oil is divided into animal oil and vegetable oil, and the components contain saturated fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids. Unsaturated fatty acids are easily absorbed and decomposed.

Oil is a component of our cell membrane, but excessive intake of oil will increase the burden on the liver and gallbladder, which will accumulate on the blood vessel wall in the body without decomposition, resulting in slow behavioral response, obesity and heart disease; Salt contains a lot of Na+, too much Na+ will reduce the aldosterone content in the body. As a result, Na+ will be preserved and K+ will be discharged. Too much salt will inevitably lead to excessive discharge of K+, too little K+ will cause heart discomfort, salty taste will enter the kidney, and eating too much salt will harm the kidney. It is best to maintain the amount of salt at 4-6 grams per day.

High oil and salt content is one of the causes of obesity, hypertension and heart disease, and high oil and salt content is a common disease of Chinese people at present, which is very harmful to health. Bodybuilding athletes' body shape and health directly affect the training effect and competition results, so their diet is given advice by experts, and these suggestions are also worthy of our adoption.
