Nutritional - the connoisseurFollow me and discover the tasty world of Parmigiano Reggiano, a food whose nutritional qualities make it suitable for people of all ages. I'll tell you about when Parmigiano Reggiano was born, about 900 years ago. A story of time-honoured taste.
Parmigiano Reggiano and sportspeople
I like keeping in shape! When I get back from a jog, the first thing I do is open the fridge and grab a Parmareggio Snack, an all-natural energy boost, rich in noble proteins, calcium, phosphorus and vitamins.
Indeed, its extraordinary ability to boost digestibility and energy make Parmigiano Reggiano the perfect food for sportspeople.
During its curing process, the proteins of Parmigiano Reggiano are broken down to facilitate their absorption; just think that 100g of Parmigiano Reggiano are digested in 45 minutes against the 4 hours required for an equal amount of meat or fish.
Parmigiano Reggiano, especially when cured for at least 24 months is very important in a sportsperson's diet, because it helps maintaining good health and improving performances.
In fact, it is a natural supplement of proteins, especially essential amino acids and, in particular free-form branched chain amino acids, which are easily absorbed.
It is particularly indicated for replenishing electrolytes after intense exercise.
It contains short-chain saturated fatty acids fundamental for an athlete as an immediate energy source during aerobic exercise and it also contains small amounts of linoleic acid and linolenic acids, water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins, in particular vitamins B12, A and E.
