The formula 40% 30% 30%

The Zone is a system based on selection and management criteria foods capable of impacting the organism by improving the state of health. Zone refers to a metabolic state in which the body works at its maximum peak efficiency., and this circumstance must be sought in the intake of specific nutritional elements that improve the overall inflammatory balance. In short, "in the Zone" the human machine should function at the best of its physiological potential, without pangs of hunger, full of energy and with maximum efficiency during physical performance.

Food is the most powerful medicine we have at our disposal and we must take it as such, in a controlled way and in the right proportions.… Barry Sears argues that by balancing the three macronutrients energetic – carbohydrates, the protein and fats – it is possible to reach an optimal physical and mental state. Furthermore, the Zone allows a notable reduction in body fat if it is present in excess.

Each meal should have the right proportions of carbohydrates, proteins and fats, and the calorie ratio should be 40% 30% 30%. Furthermore, no more than five hours should pass between one meal and the next.. Compared to our Mediterranean diet, the Zone diet suggests a carbohydrate intake of 40% mainly derived from fruit and vegetables, proteins to 30% from meat e low-fat cheeses, fish, eggs and fats to 30% unsaturated type (like omega 9 in theextra virgin olive oil omega 3 of the fish and theomega 6 of the oil seeds).

The WELL-BEING of Fisioradi

«We are truly happy to be able to repeat, after three years, a meeting with Doctor Barry Sears (Maurizio Radi, founder of the Fisioradi Medical Center, told bici.PRO. ed.). We are particularly so because we know how important the topic of nutrition related to sports practice is., complex and absolutely deserving of an authoritative study. Dr. Sears will share his testimony, discuss the Zone Diet, and discuss how proper nutrition is essential for well-being, and not just for those who regularly participate in sports. We all need to strive for a state of physical well-being (WELL-BEING as we like to call it in Physioradi…) and understanding how to achieve it, in everyday life as well as in the sport in which you vent your passion, also comes from very important meetings like this one."
