Here are her "Top 5":
OATS
To start the day I like to have a good breakfast, with foods that provide me with a good source of energy and healthy carbohydrates. That’s why oats are always present in the first meal of the day, so important for any athlete
WATER
Keeping hydrated is one of the most important challenges whilst I play and train. It is extremely important for anyone, but more so for an athlete. We have a high percentage of water in the body and we lose it when we are doing any activity. There fore, you have to recover it!
MELON
I love fruit, another of the essential pillars of a balanced diet. I stick with this fruit to sweeten up the days, normally as a dessert, especially on hotdays. Incidentally, it helps to cool me down and hydrate.
TOMATO
Tomatois another of my essentials. I eat it in salads and sauces, or with toast.Tomato is always a good option. It is one of my favourite vegetables. It cheersup any dish and the natural flavour is noticeable.
CHEESE
Asan athlete, I love to indulge in watching football matches, and my weakness is cheese. A cheeseboard to share whilst I'm watching a game, for mere enjoyment, is a luxury I can’t go without.
