Taylor, P. 2010, ‘Nutrition Q & A: Boost you immune system with good nutritional choices’, Triathlete magazine issue March 2010, pg. 118
In this article Taylor reviews the influences having a poor immune system can have on training and devises methods through good nutrition to counteract this. Taylor uses information gained through personal experience as a nutritionist towards elite triathletes, to indentify the main causes of getting sick and whether it is because of poor nutrition. Taylor’s research on the question posed “... What can I do to help avoid getting sick?” focuses on eating a varied diet, moderating total energy intake, avoiding low-carbohydrate diets, watching fat intake, including yoghurts with live bacteria (probiotics), eating ginger, garlic and chilli, maintaining good fluid intake and finally considering taking a broad-spectrum vitamin supplement. The article is useful to my topic, as Taylor, suggests numerous ways that an elite athlete can prevent getting sick, and explains how an elite athlete can boost their immune system simply through nutrition. The main limitations of the article, was that in didn’t fully explain the effects nutrition alone would have o stopping an athlete getting sick and boosting their level of performance in competition, thus Taylor provides her email address in order to discuss the topic further. This article will form the basis of my research as it useful in seeing what an elite triathlete would eat as part of their training, and prior to competition.
