Nutrition for Jockeys
Whether amateur or professional, if you want to win, to minimise injuries and to maintain your sporting life, you need to be in the best possible health.
It’s already a tough brief to:
•Maintain a good lean muscle/fat ratio
•Get optimal performance from your metabolism
•Repair the body quickly
But in addition to that, jockeys have the added problem of weight. Every extra pound carried by the jockey results in a slower time for the horse and greater risk of damage in a collision.
Many jockeys starve themselves for 24 hours before a race to get below the limit, but this is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. To put your metabolism through that and then push it to the limit can cause collapse, irreparable damage and even death. Also to do that immediately before handling a powerful, wilful and (in some cases) highly strung racehorse, increases risk of serious injury or death.
Today, it is very difficult for jockeys (and non-jockeys!) to maintain optimum health and weight because of the appalling nutritional standard of food today and the difficulty of following a healthy diet regime in a fast moving world.
Look at the facts for a moment. The last 50 years have seen a rise in obesity, anorexia, Type 2 Diabetes, heart disease, stroke, cancer and anti-social behaviour. All of these things have either attained or are close to attaining epidemic proportions. Although there are other factors involved, the single, key common denominator is nutrition.
These nutritional problems, which affect everyone, are even more critical for jockeys who possibly demand more strength from their bodies per kg of body weight than any other athletes.
As an Honours graduate in Biology with 20 years of professional and personal experience in this field, I have found the best solution to be the nutrition products of the Herbalife Corporation.
Herbalife is official nutrition sponsor of:
•The LA Galaxy football team
•The London Triathlon
•Olly Freeman, the UK’s most exciting, rising Triathlon star
•And sponsors many other sporting events around the world.
Also, Golf Maestro Nick Faldo recommends the Herbalife products to all the students at his Golfing Academy.
Herbalife’s Medical and Scientific Advisory Board, which includes Nobel Laureate Dr Lou Ignarro and Professor of Human Physiology
at UCLA Dr David Heber, has been developing peerless, nutritional health products to help athletes (and non-athletes!) since 1980.
Most importantly, these nutritional products:
•WILL make a positive difference to your performance
•WON’T show up positive on a drugs test – because they contain no drugs!
