Vitamins are natural substances found in plants and animals and known as Essential nutrients for human beings. Human body uses these substances to stay healthy and support its many functions.

At its most basic level, food is simply your body’s source of energy and is what enables you to move. But different kinds of foods play different roles and can help give you quick bursts or sustained periods of energy, assist your muscles in post-training recovery and spur muscular growth and strength.
1. Increased Energy-Digestion is the process by which your body converts food into energy. Foods have different, ratings, which indicate how quickly your body uses the energy from those foods. High-GI foods are digested quickly and provide instant energy, while low-GI foods give you a steady supply of energy and keep your blood glucose levels even.
2. Muscle Recovery- Food provides energy but can also help your body recover afterward. As personal trainer and exercise expert Chris Zaino explains, high carbohydrates to help your body recover. As he explains, high carbohydrates may quickly replenish muscle glycogen levels that have been depleted during training. Zaino suggests that eating within 15 minutes after an exercise session may aid in recovery. Effective recovery can lead to improved performance in the future.
3. Increased Strength-Upper- and lower-body muscle strength can dramatically improve your sports performance. And while carbohydrates give you energy, protein may increase strength. This is because protein contains amino acids, which your body uses to build muscle. In one study, increasing protein intake by 40 grams daily during an exercise program resulted in significant increases in strength compared to the exercise program combined with increased carbohydrate consumption.
4. Protein intake – must be met in order to maintain body weight, replenish glycogen stores, and provide adequate protein for building and repairing tissue.
5. Fat intake should be adequate to provide essential fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins, as well as to help provide adequate energy for weight maintenance. Overall, diets should provide moderate amounts of energy from fat (20-25% of energy)
6. Body weight and composition can affect exercise performance, but should not be used as the sole criterion for sports performance. Consuming adequate food and fluid before, during, and after exercise can help maintain blood glucose levels during exercise, maximize exercise performance, and improve recovery time.

8. Athletes will not need vitamin-and-mineral supplements if adequate energy to maintain body weight is consumed from a variety of foods.
