Jeremy Lin was born in the United States and grew up in a western-style diet. Milk accounts for a lot of ingredients in his diet. Jeremy Lin played basketball since he was a child. Milk can provide him with enough calcium, strengthen his bones and prevent them from shrinking. Moreover, the calcium in milk can improve his sleep quality and promote the secretion of growth hormone. The accumulation from childhood, coupled with the timely follow-up of high school nutrition, gave Jeremy Lin the foundation and conditions for taking off. Jeremy Lin can jump 30 centimeters in three years, and milk is essential. Moreover, iron, copper and lecithin in milk can greatly improve the working efficiency of the brain. As high flyers, a Harvard graduate, Jeremy Lin plays ball with his brain.
In his first year in the NBA, Jeremy Lin's body shape changed obviously. He used to be thin and tall, and he became more fit. Although he gained weight, the percentage of fat in his weight decreased. The body fat rate of normal men is about 15% ~ 30%, and basketball players can often drop to 8%. This is mainly because of beef.
The content of sarcosine in beef is higher than any other food, which makes it particularly effective for muscle growth and strength enhancement. In the first few seconds of training, sarcosine is the source of muscle fuel, which can effectively supplement adenosine triphosphate, thus making the training last longer. In addition, beef contains enough vitamin B6, which can help Jeremy Lin enhance his immunity and promote protein's metabolism and synthesis, thus contributing to his recovery after intensive training.
Last year, Jeremy Lin visited China twice, during which he had to attend dinner parties frequently because of business activities. Even in this case, he will pay attention to eating only low-fat meat such as chicken and tear off the chicken skin. He said, "If my trainer knows that I eat pork, he will definitely kill me" and "I won't touch any high-fat and high-calorie food". The reason why Jeremy Lin is so picky about the meat he eats is that in general meat products, the fat content of animal meat is often very high, often around 30%, while the fat content of poultry meat is only around 10%.
Five eggs, a little turkey or a hamburger. According to the analysis of famous nutritionist Gu Zhongyi, although professional athletes can consume more cholesterol, five egg yolks are absolutely excessive, so according to his guess, it should refer to egg white. Protein in egg white can stimulate the brain to secrete hypothalamic hormones, so that Jeremy Lin can always keep a clear head and lead the Knicks to win.
Mo Baoqing, an associate professor in the Department of Nutrition and Food Hygiene of Nanjing Medical University, believes that Jeremy Lin eats five eggs for breakfast because he has a large amount of exercise and energy consumption, and eggs are the best source of protein absorbed by the human body.
Jeremy Lin drinks a cup of protein mixed drink every day after training, and the chicken he often eats can also provide him with a lot of protein. Protein, which is composed of amino acids, is another important energy-supplying substance, and each gram of protein provides 4 calories. Jeremy Lin consumes a lot of energy when he plays ball, so he needs to supplement protein. Basketball needs strength and more developed muscles, and the synthesis of muscles needs protein. In other words, Jeremy Lin who loves sports needs more protein than the average person. Protein can ensure the formation of bone organic matter, which is beneficial to the deposition of calcium.
Gu Zhongyi believes that athletes will be in a state of tension during training and competition. Not only can their energy consumption reach 1.5 times that of normal people, but the catabolism of protein will also be enhanced, and even a negative nitrogen balance may appear. At this time, providing high-quality protein in the diet can not only supplement the loss of athletes, but also increase muscle strength, promote the synthesis of hemoglobin and accelerate the recovery of fatigue. Generally speaking, in China, it is enough for adults with light physical strength and labor to consume 0.8 g of protein per kg of body weight every day, while the protein supply of athletes can reach 1.5 ~ 2.5 g per kg of body weight, which is a completely high-protein diet.
Jeremy Lin also drinks 8 bottles of water and eats 8 packages of vegetables every day. Basketball is a high-intensity sport, and it is very important for players who sweat profusely on the court to replenish water in time. Vegetables account for 65,438+00% of Jeremy Lin's diet, and he consumes 500 ~ 65,438+0,000 grams of vegetables every day, more than half of which are dark green, red or orange vegetables. Dark leafy vegetables are the main sources of calcium, carrots, vitamins, iron, riboflavin, ascorbic acid and cellulose.
