Any Particular Foods:Stamina

[Karandeep]

Hey, once again I have come to ask a stamina question.

I was wondering, are they any special types of food that helps to add stamina/stay fit for bhangra.
The other day, I heard someone say "Aalo Keyley(Banana) Kao, Naley Stamina vaado",

So then I starting wondering If it was actaully true.I know not eating things like Mckie Ds help.

Thhank you.

Oh for-God's sake!
Why do people ask questions like this? It's a bit obvious what you should eat if you want to stay fit isnt it?
Fruit, Veg, roti, homemade food!

 

[Karandeep]

LOL. I know like eat healthy foods and shit. I was wondering if there were any *special* kinds of food

bananas help raise testosterone levels in your body, so that may help, worst thing to do is drink alcohol cuzz it has high levels of estrogen in it from what iv heard, another food iv heard that is good for stamina are avacodos. (im not 100 percent sure about this though)

Obviously those foods will help you stay fit... but the day before/of a comp, you want foods that will give you energy. Carbs give you energy-pasta, tomatoes, sandwiches. Just don't overdo the carbs, because there's a fine line from carbs giving you energy, and too much carbs making you feel lethargic.

Around 30 minutes or so before you plan to exercise/dance/workout its good to ingest some sort of carbohydrate because it will lead to a better workout/preformance. Usually a simple fruit like an apple or banana is fine, just make sure you eat something you wont throw up later .

I just recently started eating bananas every day, and that's cause my mom makes me eat it for breakfast every morning, with milk, before I go to work. I just don't argue and did that every day for like 2-3 weeks. I've seen my stamina go up since then. So, I guess it does help.

Foods won't help you get more stamina.. however eating the wrong foods will make you tired quicker.

You need complex carbohydrates for clean long lasting physical energy --> grapefruit, brown rice, plain oatmeal, whole grain type stuff.
The rest is mental, don't let your mind tell you what you are capable of.
And do NOT eat roti before performing, whatever desi parents say about food is absolutely wrong. The wheat in most atta is stripped of it's wheat germ and nutrients and is extremely unhealthy.

Also, eat every 2 hours or so to keep you energetic, small simple meals

yeah they're called steroids they're very special

 

[Don]

naw but on a more serious note I know they probably don't have anything to do with stamina but eat a lot of badams.

Honestly, every dancer i know including my self, have not watched what they eat in and out of competition practices and they still manage to perform to thier bestt
Now this does not mean that their not eating completely eating unhealthy but just lay off the alchohol and whatever else you do and just practice hard and i think you'l do just fine

 

[manmeet]

umm... try this milkshake out, take a blender, put in 1 raw egg, some milk, a spoon of peanut butter, a small portion of banana, a couple of slices of oranges, and a little bit of sugar for taste. its good to help you keep energy and you can also drink it to try to build mussel mass.

Stamina just builds up as you do more and more exercise.
Go for a long jog (5 miles) and when you start feeling tired force yourself to go on more.
Next time you do 5 miles you should find it easier to do.
Keep going further and further each jog.
