London Olympics 2012 is a time remembered by all South Africans as Chad le Clos beat Michael Phelps to claim first place in the 200m Butterfly.
Before discovering FutureLife®, Chad seldom ate breakfast, but he now starts every day the FutureLife® way.
Chad says, “On the day that I won the gold medal, I ate FutureLife® and I can’t imagine starting my day without it. It gives me energy to train hard and keeps me full without that heavy, bloated feeling in my stomach. It sustains me throughout my intense training sessions.”
This year, Claude Moshiywa became the first South African in 21 years to win the ‘up’ run of the 88th Comrades Marathon in a time of five hours, 32 minutes and eight seconds.
Claude runs for the Nedbank Green Dream Team, all of whom is avid FutureLife® users and they have dominated sporting activities ranging from 10km and 21km races, Comrades and Two Oceans.
Claude uses FutureLife® every day before and after training, and finds it particularly useful for recovery.
Claude’s manager and the Nedbank Green Dream Team’s Manager, Nick Bester who is a loyal FutureLife® user states, “FutureLife® Smart Food is great as a pre-race drink, and High Protein is a good recovery meal. Before I train I have it plain, as a drink. After a run I’ll add raisins, nuts and honey.
“Before a race it is especially important not to have a heavy meal. Your liver glycogen levels drop overnight and therefore you need to get your glycogen levels up. FutureLife® is an excellent product to fuel your body so that you can start a race without feeling full.
“Throughout my career I always have believed that you can’t have only carbs, that you should have a balance of carbs, proteins and fats. This is why FutureLife® is the perfect balanced and complete meal,” enthuses Bester.
Bester once was a professional athlete, and he still trains hard and gets immense satisfaction from coaching and seeing his team excel. He is particularly proud of Claude’s historic win at this year’s Comrades.
Such an accomplishment obviously comes fromth great training, skill, endurance and motivation, but a balanced diet plays a key role.
