    #32 Zakaj NE posnemati diete LUKE DONČIĆA?! Nutricist Mario Sambolec o prehrani vrhunskih športnikov

    V tej epizodi gostim Maria Sambolca, prehranskega strokovnjaka in ustanovitelja podjetja Feel Good, ki že več kot desetletje pomaga ljudem razumeti prehrano brez mitov, bližnjic in marketinških trikov. Tokrat se dotakneva ene od najbolj vročih tem zadnjih mesecev: preobrazbe Luke Dončića na naslovnici Men’s Health in vprašanja: ali takšni primeri res prikazujejo športno realnost ali pa ustvarjajo napačno sliko, ki jo mladi športniki prehitro posnemajo? 🔑 Vsebina epizode: Zakaj six packi in naslovnice revij nimajo veze s performansom na igrišču Kako naj bi bila videti prehrana vrhunskih športnikov Kateri so največji izzivi pri mladih športnikih, ko skušajo kopirati svoje idole Ali je lahko “športna dieta” tudi nevarna, če jo mladi razumejo napačno Kaj dejansko odloča o uspehu: hrana, regeneracija, trening, rutina Kako se lotiti prehrane, če želiš napredovati, ne pa le izgledati Mario v pogovoru opozori na nevarnosti idealiziranja zunanjega videza, razbije nekaj najtrdovratnejših mitov o športni prehrani ter poda zelo praktične nasvete za igralce, trenerje in starše.
