Novak Djokovic - descent due to eating disorder?
How did I admire him on the field, his style, his way of moving on the field? Then I heard how he would change his diet and asked me when the hammer would come. We see the result of his eating disorder today.
An eating disorder is not just the known bulimia or anorexia. There is also the orthorexia: it seems to be only healthy. And this is exactly what they are looking for. You try to go a way, but it is not aware of the long-term consequences Djokovic has taken its diet away. Why do you want to do this?
Djokovic produces a very rich diet, avoids sugar completely. But whoever does this makes a big mistake in the long term. What happens: the body increases significantly more oxygen in the cell at the beginning of the changeover. First you feel stronger and better. However, it is also used to produce less lactic acid in the muscles and thus less lactate. The Lactate was previously seen by many as " dangerous " and " performance which is completely wrong according to the current state of science (Bloch, modern perspectives of the
Lactate is not just a waste that forms itself when we overload the muscle, but also an important source of energy in the border If the muscle loses the ability to form and burn lactate, then the consequences are intense and not just sporting:
• the athlete feels less and less at the border.
• The Immune System is more active.
• the athlete gets more and more inflammation and, above all, allergies and intolerance.
• It is always resistant to stress and much less stress.
• The Length of time and duration of the sleep takes off, often sleeping with sleeping pills.
• the internal unrest is increasing, often in the case of psychotropic drugs.
• Performance breaks at all levels, with fellow people always being dealt with, friendships and relationships.
• Athletes feel increasingly isolated. Suicidal thoughts can be the result (assuming I do not djokovic anything, but unfortunately others are affected by the same way).
What Djokovic has is a completely defective anaerobic metabolism due to its diet. His descent is are, the book which he wrote about nutrition shows on closer inspection as a guide to sports and psychological burnout. He's been writing history for years with his life.
What would help him? Slow Start-up of carbohydrates. If you eat more carbohydrates, it also produces more lactate, but the body needs to learn about it first. Training needs to be adjusted, he should increase the sugar for training.
By the way, we have exactly those athletes in practice every week. You can hardly imagine that it can "go off" again in practice and in everyday life. But if we normalize the eating again, it usually takes no more than 3-6 weeks until most of them are reasonably in the lot.
