Benefits Of Proper Feeding Prior To The Day Of Dance Competitions

By Roger Sanders


For you to get an opportunity to participate in a dancing competition, you must be a great dancer. However, you will be competing with other great dancers as well. What you do different is what will set you apart from the other great dancers you will be competing with. Like any other competition, you have to do things right if you are to emerge a winner in the dance competition that awaits you. Proper feeding in particular is important during the week before the big day and on the day of dance competitions.

For you to maintain discipline in your feeding, you should start by coming up with a plan. Take a book and a pen and draw a timetable that will help you know the type and amount of food you should eat on daily basis. Keep this book close to monitor your feeding behavior and to ensure that you are feeding right.

After drawing the timetable, make sure that you have the food included on your timetable at your disposal. Start with the new food that you would like to introduce on your timetable. This will ensure you have time to test how your body reacts to this food. Avoid trying new food two days to the day of competition. The last thing you want is a stomach upset.

Being a dancer will require you to know your body well. Although your body may behave differently due to the anxiety that comes with preparing for a competition, it should not be a reason for you to skip meals or to feed on junk or food that does not go well with your body. B you the end of the day, proper feeding will give you the confidence that you need to perform well on stage.

Some people are fast eaters. They eat food in hurriedly and this leads to issues with their stomach. Eating fast is one of the causes of indigestion and bloating. To be healthy and feel good about your body, eat food slowly. Eating slowly will also make sure that you give your teeth enough time to chew the food before swallowing.

After proper feeding, you should also make sure that you take enough fluids. Water is very important to keep your metabolism balanced. The last thing you want is to experience constipation during the big day. However, do not make the mistake of taking too much water or drinks few minutes before the time of competition.

During the last week to the competition day, you should avoid eating out, in case you are travelling, it is important to carry your own food rather than eat in hotels. However, in case you are not able to have your own meals, make sure you do not eat any food that you come across. Be keen when eating in hotels.

Also, remember that sleep is important. Experts recommend that one should have at least eight hours of quality sleep. In case you like taking stimulants such as caffeine, and energy drinks that may hinder proper sleep, avoid them. This will ensure you sleep well.
