RING GENERALSHIP

The proper diet for a boxer would be much like the proper diet for
a wrestler or sprinter. A high carbohydrate diet with a fair amount of
protein and low fat is a real plus. A boxer should eat balanced meals
of meat, fish, poultry, vegetables, fruits and whole grain breads and
cereals.
Try to avoid eating large amounts of red meat. Eat more fish, chicken
and turkey. Avoid processed foods that are full of chemicals such as
potato chips, most snacks, ice cream, etc. Sugar is a poison to the
body. Keep its use to a minimum level. Because boxing is so vigorous,
it is advisable that a daily vitamin supplement be used. Drink a large
amount of water to replenish lost liquids and to clean out your system.
Adelle Davis, a famous nutritionist said it best, “You are what you
eat”.
