Here are his Top 5:

AVOCADOS

This is a fruit thatI use all year round. It is full of unsaturated fats, a source of vitamin E andminerals… it has become the ‘brother’ to olive oil. The avocado charges ourcells with energy after the fatigue of each training session, especially for everylunch and dinner. It is marvellous! 


SALMON

As a good sportsman,I always seek the best source of protein so I can perform to the max. Thefamous Omega 3 in salmon is very important for cardiovascular health.  


QUINOA

One of the tensources of vegetable protein. We should eat what comes from the earth and herewe have an example so that we don’t exploit animals. I tend to eat quinoa toadd taste to many dishes, such as salads.


YOGURT

In mi opinion, yogurt is the highlight at breakfast, loaded with dried fruit.You can mix it with almost anything, it is smooth and easy to digest, and Ialways try to have it sugar-free.  Yogurtis a source of calcium to give you bones that are strong as iron.

LENTILS

For me, legumes are an essential source ofcarbohydrates. You can’t perform without them. Both in summer and in winterthere is a place for them in my diet. They also contain iron, fibre andpotassium. I can eat them in many meals and I never tire of them.
