Being vegetarian is still healthy

Lê Vinh |

In the last 2 matches of the Vietnamese national team, Hoang Hen was the only player to play the full number of minutes. A noteworthy detail is that this 31-year-old player is a vegetarian.

Here, we are not talking about Hoang Hen, who is of Brazilian origin, having better physical condition to do that, but the story is that even though he is vegetarian, he still maintains enough energy for high-intensity competition throughout the match. And therefore, top sports is not a story of distinguishing between "eating salty or vegetarian" will be healthier. That is the story of scientific nutrition and discipline.

Experts have said quite clearly. Energy does not come from the perspective of whether you eat meat or vegetables, but from the total amount of nutrients the body absorbs and how it is distributed. A complete vegetarian diet can meet the competition requirements if fully calculated in terms of energy, protein, micronutrients and eating time. Conversely, following a "full of meat" but uncalculated, uncontrolled diet can still cause athletes to run out of breath as usual.

Giving this information to say that, for Vietnamese sports, increasing benefits for athletes is precious, but "how much money for meals per day" is not the only factor determining the improvement of physical condition and achievements.

Increasing the cost of food can help make meals more full, but just stopping there will make it difficult to achieve maximum efficiency. In fact, what is missing is a systematic nutrition system. In many developed sports backgrounds, top athletes have a team behind them: nutritionists, fitness experts, and people monitoring biological indicators. Each meal, meal time, is in a seriously implemented plan.

For Hoang Hen, a height of 1.81m and a weight of 74kg are ideal for regulating energy for a long competition time, performing favorable movements and deploying difficult skills. Moreover, as many assessments show that vegetarians and vegetarians will be more "gentle" than those who eat a lot of meat, it can be seen that Hoang Hen also maintains a fairly stable competitive psychological state, with few negative reactions even when fouled. In that state, he even has many beautiful improvisational plays.

More or less, those are the details Vietnamese sports needs to pay attention to. Athletes may not need expensive dishes, but must eat correctly, eat enough, appropriately and disciplined.
