Coach Zeki as EXPERTEN feature at Techniker Krankenkasse (TK)
Great honor and a big promise of quality for my nutrition coaching in Hamburg-Altona:
The Techniker Krankenkasse (TK) – Germany’s largest statutory health insurance company – has appointed me as an official expert!
The topic: nutrition in endurance sports. An area that is often completely misunderstood, especially in boxing and high-end athletic training. Many people still think of endurance only in terms of classic marathon runners who shovel mountains of pasta into themselves the evening before. Complete nonsense.
Boxing is a high-intensity endurance sport. If you run out of breath in the ring after two rounds, the hardest punch in the world won’t do you any good. Without the right fuel in the tank, your performance will slump – this applies to sport just as much as it does to your focus in business.
Here are the 3 most important key messages from my expert article for TK that you must use for yourself immediately:
- The right timing: It’s not just about what you eat, but when. Strategic energy intake before exercise determines whether you fly or completely collapse during training.
- Fluid controls reflexes: Dehydration kills your concentration and maximum strength long before you even feel really thirsty. No engine runs without electrolytes.
- Regeneration after the punch: After training, your nutrient intake determines whether your body breaks down valuable muscle mass (catabolic state) or repairs itself optimally to make you fit for the next session.
You can now find the complete, scientifically based article with all my nutrition tips and detailed strategies directly on the official TK portal.
