Dietetics and nutrition
“Good nutrition will not turn a mediocre athlete into a champion, but poor nutrition and bad nutritional strategies can turn a potential champion into a mediocre athlete.”
1) Nutritional support services for athletes
- Personalized monitoring, support, and follow-up during the season
- Occasional checks for a test/competition
- Training and education in nutrition applied to sport and health
- Support for recovery and prevention of injuries and pathologies (related to poor nutrition)
- Detection of errors and poor nutritional approaches
- Personalized and adapted nutritional, hydration, and rehydration plans
2) Nutritional support in case of migraine or other typical DAO deficiency symptoms
DAO deficiency is a disorder in the metabolism of dietary histamine that occurs when there is low activity of the enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO), meaning that for some reason there is a significant deficiency in the functional activity of the enzyme most important for histamine metabolism. When there is a disproportion between ingested histamine or histamine released by the cells that store it in the body and the ability to metabolize it, histamine accumulates in the plasma, causing adverse effects.
Therefore, it is essential to create a nutritional plan tailored to each individual, low in histamine and, if necessary, supplemented with the DAO enzyme.
Several conditions are associated with increased histamine due to low DAO enzyme activity:
- Migraine or other vascular headaches
- Gastrointestinal disorders: constipation, diarrhea, satiety, bloating, or cyclic vomiting syndrome
- Chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia
- Dermatological disorders such as dry, atopic skin or psoriasis
- Osteoarticular and muscular pain
- In childhood and adolescence, DAO deficiency has been linked to attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
3) Nutritional support in other situations
- Nutritional education to achieve a balanced diet
- Nutrition during pregnancy and breastfeeding
- Childhood nutrition (growth issues)
- Weight management: overweight and obesity
- Diabetes (type I and II)
Nutritional tools
- Physiological tests to determine fitness status
- Assessment and monitoring of hematological and biochemical analyses
- Detection of DAO deficiency through a special blood test
