And she&#8217;s right!<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Our body consists of around 50 % water. No wonder, then, that human metabolism only works when the body has enough water available.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>And not all liquids are equal: juices or sports drinks are not part of a healthy diet. They often contain too much added sugar, which sends your blood sugar levels soaring unnecessarily. If you can afford it, get yourself a <strong>water filter<\/strong>. That way you no longer have to lug water bottles around and can simply filter tap water instead. Even though tap water in Germany is pretty good, avoid drinking it unfiltered. The chlorine content can often cause serious damage to the digestive system. And if water still feels too boring, just add some fruit. <strong>How about water with lemon and mint, for example?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eat_balanced_meals\"><\/span><strong>Eat balanced<\/strong> meals!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Don&#8217;t focus on just one component of a balanced diet \u2013 your meals should consist of <strong>carbohydrates, protein and fat<\/strong>. These three macronutrients help keep your blood sugar levels balanced and your energy up throughout the day. The right amounts vary from person to person. Some people perform better with a higher carbohydrate intake, while others do better with more fats and proteins. Everyone has to find this out for themselves, because a different diet suits each person. The only important thing is that meals are balanced.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%9CGood%E2%80%9D_carbohydrates_are_the_solution\"><\/span><strong>\u201cGood\u201d<\/strong> carbohydrates<strong> are<\/strong> the<strong> solution!<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cCarbohydrates are the reason why so many people are overweight and gain weight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A myth that should be debunked right away. If you eat badly, sleep little or not at all, don&#8217;t treat your body well and have never learned to listen to it, you are much more likely to gain weight.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Carbohydrates are the <strong>fuel for our body<\/strong>, so cutting them out long-term can have devastating effects on our hormonal system. When it comes to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/en\/healthy-nutrition-for-surfers\/\">nutrition for surfers<\/a>, carbohydrates are essential to ensure adequate energy production.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, not all carbohydrates are \u201cgood\u201d carbohydrates. The focus should be on <strong>nutrient-dense carbohydrates<\/strong>. Too many people consume most of their calories in the form of processed grain carbohydrates. Most people would benefit greatly from eating less grain (including whole grains). Focus instead on <strong>high-quality fruit and starch as carbohydrates<\/strong>. This doesn&#8217;t mean whole grain products and the like should be banned from the kitchen \u2013 on the contrary: you should simply make sure you eat from nutrient-dense food sources.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/en\/healthy-nutrition-for-surfers-part-3\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-42107\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-42107\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/8YEENVJPZX.jpg\" alt=\"Potato wedges\" width=\"1081\" height=\"723\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/8YEENVJPZX.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/8YEENVJPZX-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/8YEENVJPZX-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/8YEENVJPZX-1024x686.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/8YEENVJPZX-1080x723.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1081px) 100vw, 1081px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When it comes to carbohydrates, there is also the much-discussed topic of gluten.

No wonder, then, that human metabolism only works when the body has enough water available.<\/p>\n<p>And not all liquids are equal: juices or sports drinks are not part of a healthy diet. They often contain too much added sugar, which sends your blood sugar levels soaring unnecessarily. If you can afford it, get yourself a water filter. That way you no longer have to lug water bottles around and can simply filter tap water instead. Even though tap water in Germany is pretty good, avoid drinking it unfiltered. The chlorine content can often cause serious damage to the digestive system. And if water still feels too boring, just add some fruit. How about water with lemon and mint, for example?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[31984,31993],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-349600","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-most-popular-articles-in-the-surf-blog","category-surf-fitness-training-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/349600","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=349600"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/349600\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":349626,"href":"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/349600\/revisions\/349626"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=349600"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=349600"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=349600"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
