Sports Nutrition

Balanced nutrition can enhance sporting performance. According to the Victorian Government Department of Health (2021), a basic training diet should be sufficient to:

• provide enough energy and nutrients to meet the demands of training and exercise
• enhance adaptation and recovery between training sessions
• include a wide variety of foods like wholegrain breads and cereals, vegetables (particularly leafy green varieties), fruit, lean meat and low-fat dairy products to enhance long term nutrition habits and behaviours
• enable the athlete to achieve optimal body weight and body fat levels for performance
• provide adequate fluids to ensure maximum hydration before, during and after exercise
• promote the short and long-term health of athletes.

Although a well-planned, nutritious diet should meet your vitamin and mineral needs and provide enough protein to promote muscle growth and repair, occasionally supplementation is required. At Luxe Tribe Wellness Dispensary, we offer a basic range of sports nutrition and sports performance products, such as muscle and joint remedies, for your convenience.

Kindly note that as our focus is on preventative medicine and wellness, we have not delved much into athletic health sciences; while we will be most happy to answer any basic questions, we may refer you to a specialist nutritionist for further enquiry.
