Title: Age, Nutrition, and You: Learning from Champions.
Over 40 and feeling the weight of age? Questioning how to sustain peak energy, quick recovery, and overall health? You’re not alone. Gents, it’s time to take a leaf from the book of Eliud Kipchoge, world marathon record holder at age 36. His secret isn’t an expensive nutrition plan shipped from abroad, but a commitment to simple, local, traditional foods.
Eliud’s day starts with traditional Kenyan tea loaded with milk and sugar, bread with peanut butter, accompanied by other local breakfast items. He enjoys a carb-heavy diet with a balance of protein and vegetables – his favourite being sukuma wiki (collard greens). Despite the sugars, this diet maintains his fitness and keeps him winning.
As we age, our nutritional needs evolve. We often overlook this fact, focusing on our younger selves’ diet or trending fads. But is that sustainable or beneficial? Are we feeding our bodies what they need, or what is convenient?
Take a moment to reflect on your diet. Does it balance protein, carbs, and veggies? Do you drink enough fluids? Remember, it doesn’t have to be a fancy, hard-to-pronounce superfood to be good for you; local, traditional food can be equally nutritious and beneficial.
How we fuel our bodies directly contributes to our success – on the track or in the boardroom. Follow on Kipchoge’s footsteps, let’s shift the narrative for men’s health over 40. It’s a race where we can all be winners.
