In recent days, the media has paid a lot of attention to the fact that the naturalized striker has reached a weight of nearly 100kg. That is, in just about a week, he has gained about 5kg, with the explanation that it is due to "limited movement, needing IV fluids and regular medication". However, from a scientific perspective, is that really true?
Among the many factors affecting human health - from objective to subjective, the two factors of nutrition and exercise account for 70%. When it comes to numbers and these two factors, a misconception of many people is that exercise plays a more important role than nutrition. But the actual parameters may shock them, when only considering these two factors, nutrition determines 80%, while exercise is only 20%.
With this ratio, returning to Xuan Son's case, it is clear that his limited physical activity did not have a direct impact on his weight gain of nearly 5kg in just 1 week. On the contrary, his diet is the direct cause. Information that Xuan Son likes to eat banana cake and pho has been seen and confirmed by him. Not only that, there were also images of him eating vermicelli with grilled pork while lying in bed in the hospital. Here, we do not criticize the deliciousness of the above dishes, but from a nutritional perspective, these are dishes that provide a lot of calories, while the nutrients are low.
For a player/athlete who needs a lot of exercise to burn off the energy he takes in, just a few steps of walking with crutches clearly cannot burn off all those calories. The question is, what does Xuan Son need to control his weight? Doctors have also noticed that the Brazilian striker must stop eating outside food and only eat meals designed by nutritionists.
And people remember that the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) is receiving sponsorship from a famous unit in nutrition, in healthy meals to control weight. Can Xuan Son be used in this case?
