Sports nutrition plays a fundamental role in the success of any professional athlete, and even amateur sports people realise that diet can have a major impact on their performance levels.

Due to the aerobic demands of training and competition, footballers' diets usually contain high carbohydrate levels. Hydration is also a major concern, as some players can lose up to a kilo in weight when training and it can take as much as 24 hours to re-hydrate properly.

However, with research a dieter will find these food products may not be more appropriate choices for slimming down.Products marked organic means a product is grown without any genetically modified organisms, sewage sludge, synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. For poultry, eggs, meat and dairy products to be specified as organic products, the animals must not be inoculated with hormones or antibiotics. There are 3 groups for classifying organic products. These groups are organic, 100% organic and made with organic ingredients.Food products labeled one hundred percent organic foods are created using one hundred percent organic items.
