Organic Food in Sport: Let's Start with our Research

---

The study "ORGANIC FOOD IN SPORT" is a project of Probios in collaboration with the University of Florence under the direction of prof. Giorgio Galanti. The SESTESE FOOTBALL team that plays in the Italian Serie D is an integral part of this research. The project aims to test whether a diet with organic foods can support competitive athletes. Indeed, increasing frequency and intensity of the workouts, it happens that oxidative stress of the organism increases with a consequent effect on health. The organic diet rich in antioxidant nutrients and being free of chemicals, that increase cellular oxidative stress, can be supportive in these cases. The research, which lasts two months, will divide the team into two different groups: the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group will follow a diet based on organic products provided by Probios to cover the food needs throughout the day. The athletes will be monitored during the entire process, at the end of the study the analysis will be repeated by comparing them with those carried out before the start of the diet. Throughout the period it will be possible to follow the progress of the study by connecting to www.probios.it.
