Optimizing Energy Supply

 Performing Physical activities require energy production.

Energy produce by the energy systems of the body which
are incharge creating adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a
molecule that serves as a usable form of energy.

1. Phosphagen system is a form of anaerobic

metabolism. It uses creatine phosphate to generate ATP
(adenosine triphosphate, the chemical which provides
energy for all body processes). ... Although the
phosphagen system produces only a little ATP, it generates
energy very quick.
 2. Anaerobic glycolysis is the main pathway
responsible for supplying the cell with both ATP and
nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (reduced) (NADH), a
cofactor for methaemoglobin reductase, the enzyme
that catalyses the reduction of methaemoglobin to
functional haemoglobin.

3. Aerobic glycolysis is a series of reactions wherein

oxygen is required to reoxidize NADH to NAD+,
hence the name. This ten-step process begins with a
molecule of glucose and ends up with two molecules
of pyruvate[1]. ... This committed step is the second
ATP consuming step in glycolysis.

Food that rich in Carbohydrates, Fats, Protein, Vitamins and
Minerals
Proteins
• Proteins are often called the body’s building blocks. They
are used to build and repair tissues. They help you fight
infection. Your body uses extra protein for energy. The
protein foods group includes seafood, lean meat and
poultry, eggs, beans and peas, soy products, and
unsalted nuts and seeds. Protein is also found in the 
dairy group. Protein from plant sources tends to be lower
in saturated fat, contains no cholesterol, and provides
fiber and other health-promoting nutrients.
Carbohydrates
• Carbohydrates are the body’s main source of energy. The fruit, vegetables
, dairy, and grain food groups all contain carbohydrates. Sweeteners like
sugar, honey, and syrup and foods with added sugars like candy, soft
drinks, and cookies also contain carbohydrates. Try to get most of your
carbohydrates from fruits, vegetables, fat-free and low-fat dairy, and whole
grains rather than added sugars or refined grains.
• It’s better to get fiber from food than dietary supplements. Start adding
fiber slowly. This will help avoid gas. To add fiber:
• Eat cooked dry beans, peas, and lentils.
• Leave skins on your fruit and vegetables but wash them before eating.
• Choose whole fruit over fruit juice.
• Eat whole grain breads and cereals that contain fiber.
Fats
• Fats give you energy, and they help the body
absorb certain vitamins. Essential fatty acids help
the body function, but they aren’t made by your
body—you have to consume them. Many foods
naturally contain fats, including dairy products;
meats, poultry, seafood, and eggs; and seeds,
nuts, avocados, and coconuts
• Vitamins and minerals are considered essential
nutrients—because acting in concert, they perform
hundreds of roles in the body. They help shore up bones,
heal wounds, and bolster your immune system. They
also convert food into energy, and repair cellular
damage.
TYPES OF EATING
• EMOTIONAL EATING - some people are
either motivated or not motivated depending on their
mood.
- emotional eaters, are people whose
minds repeatedly move their hands toward food even
when they are not all physically hungry.
• FUELING PERFORMANCE - these type of
eating is usually for athletes.
• SOCIAL EATING- it can be associated and
influenced by traditions.
• EATING OUT OF HABIT OR FOR RECREATION
OR HABITUAL OR RECREATIONAL EATING-
may also be associated with particular circumstances or
sports event.
