Ballerinas' Diet

Have you tried to tiptoe just like ballerinas do? It hurts a lot, right; especially if you don't do it the proper way, and you're not able to practice it a lot. Ballerinas took a long time, maybe, just to tiptoe like that. Well, it wasn't easy to put your weight on your upper limb rather than putting it on your feet.

Ballerinas do some diet for them to be able to dance well. Normally, ballerinas have small bodies. They even look so light with their body feature. Well of course, they do need that. They’ve been bending always when dancing and they wouldn't be able to do that if they have big bodies. Imagine a ballerina with unfit body; I guess it would be harder for her/him to bend his/her body.

As I became more interested about Ballerinas’ diet, I found an article regarding this. I have searched an article on what Ballerinas eat during meal. And I found out this fact, according to Jae Ireland in his article,  What does a Ballerina Eat?, “A smart ballerina relies on balanced meals for dancing fuel, rather than starvation tactics in order to lose weight.”

Well, it's true. Because if the ballerina skipped a meal, this may cause her to become dizzy which may affect her body balance. Even if you're not a ballerina, skipping meals may cause you that. As a person, we do all need a healthy and balanced diet to avoid diseases and illness.

Going back to ballerinas, according to one article that I have read, What is Ballerina's Diet, ballerinas are also considered as athletes that also requires to maintain a physically fit body for them to be able to perform well. Well of course, they also need energy while dancing. It is also mentioned in the article that drinking 10 cups of water is also essential to maintain a healthy body.

According to Allison Adams, If you are a ballerina, you should consider yourself an athlete, and you should follow a similar nutritional regimen as do other athletes who expend a similar amount of energy. As a ballerina, you should also vary your food source and ensure that your body receives all its required nutrients. Further, you should regulate your carbohydrate intake by making sure that you consume only complex carbohydrates. Well of course, but even though you;re not an athlete, or a ballerina, you must also consider these healthy tips to be able to have a healthy life and to enjoy life more.
