In a healthy body healthy mind! And who knows better than Olympic champions how to keep their body in a great shape? The key to their success is regular physical activity and a balanced diet. Umit Bektas, Photographer for Reuter, Captures the Daily Diet of Turkey's Athletes Preparing for the London Olympics!
For each athlete, the daily calorie content is different. For example, 22-year-old runner Merve Aydin will compete for the first time in the Olympics this year, her norm is 3000 kcal. But the norm for a 20-year-old Nur Tatar (also a debutante) is two times less. The girl will defend the honor of her country in taekwondo. Her diet is stricter, since the athlete needs to be in the exact weight category in which she will fight. Another beauty in the Turkish team is Elif Jale Yesilirmak. She is 26 years old, she devoted most of her life to wrestling in order to stay in good physical shape, she consumes about 3000 kcal per day. Elif's golden “gastronomic” rules: eat salmon instead of red meat (the wrestler believes that fish is a more nutritious and healthy food than meat), and also be sure to drink at least 5 liters of water a day!
Men also pay attention to a balanced diet. Fatih Avan, a 23-year-old javelin thrower, is confident that healthy food is the key to his victories. An experienced athlete treats the Olympics responsibly: Fatih Avan is sure that winning the Olympics is the only measure of true skill! Not only hard training will help him achieve high results, but also a diet designed for 3500 kcal, the diet consists of protein foods. Weightlifter Mete Binay has the same daily rate. The 27-year-old weightlifter has already become a world champion and also hopes for an Olympic medal. The secret of his success is two glasses of milk at night, he prefers red meat from food. Mete Binay is a real sweet tooth, so she pampers herself with delicious desserts. He tries to never skip breakfast. An athlete chooses only environmentally friendly products for his diet, and shortly before the competition he must take vitamins.
