A diet rich in carbohydrates (rice, pasta, potatoes) and fruits and vegetables can contribute to make a difference and winning matches.

The performance of players at the World Cup FIFA 2014 will depend on many factors: their shape, adaptation to temperature and humidity of the Brazilian climate, their rivals, but also to their diet.

The manner in which the players will eat can make a difference noted Antonio Escribano, Head of the Unit of Nutrition and Metabolism of the RFEF (Real Federación Española de Fútbol). A player runs, according to the position occupied in the team, between 10 and 14 km during a 90-minute match.

The necessary energy to feed properly the muscles either comes from carbohydrates less fat or proteins. The diet must first be rich in rice, and pasta and potatoes. Then, vegetables and fruits, then fish and red and white meat. Saturated fats (meat, sweets, pastries) should be very limited because they are not used for sport performance.

Final recommendation, the body of the player must be fully hydrated before, during and after the match. Should drink every 20 minutes between 20 and 30 ounces of water.
