It takes a real nutritionist, or someone with a degree in this field to really tell you what is good for you when it comes to what you eat. Sure, there are a lot of them, a publisher of books every year about how you can live a fitter and healthier life by following their advice on nutrition. Many of them give you good advice, although there are still those who continue to perpetuate myths of nutrition that can be harmful to you.

That is why I reveal to you these myths in this article so you can save yourself from the frustration and the potential risk that these myths can give you.

Let us begin.

Myth 1 - Nutrition is not important in softball

When you compare softball with other sports like football and basketball, you will probably notice that softball is not as intense as the other sports, I have mentioned. Because of this, believes some players and coaches that nutrition would not be much of a factor when you play softball.

On the contrary. Like other sports, you still have to spend more than the usual amount of energy to play this game in comparison with normal activities such as sitting down or walking.Therefore you have to have enough fuel to last you through the entire game.

And when softball involves a lot of time practicing, the food you eat will also help you recover very quickly and to keep you from getting injured easily.

Myth 2 - Eating fatty foods will not affect you

When you're playing, you can be sure that the classic foods such as sausages and burgers will always be available in nearby stalls.

Therefore, it is easy to forget about your health, and consume these foods before or after the game. Although I still would not recommend you to eat fatty and greasy food after a game, the more that I would not recommend you do so before playing ball.

Why? Although fat may be a source of fuel for the body, they are difficult to digest and difficult to burn. That's why you'll find that your results will be greatly reduced if you eat fatty foods just before the match.

Myth 3 - You can improve your performance by taking dietary supplements

This statement is rather complicated, because yes, you can improve your performance by taking supplements. But remember that they are only designed to supplement the nutrients that you would take in from the foods you eat. Therefore, they are not alternatives to eating healthy.

That said, always remember to eat the right type and right amount of food. Which helps increase your performance better than simply referring to the supplements alone.

I'm pretty sure you've heard about all these nutrition myths before. Now that I have helped you to uncover them, I hope that you will eventually be able to take your road to a healthier life. And that's what you need, not only because you play softball, but because you need it to live a more fulfilling life with your family.
