She adds, “Following right eating habits is also equally important for one who plays kabaddi. One should include all the essential nutrients in his diet and avoid consuming spicy, oily and junk food. One can get de-hydrated so make sure you drink a lot of water, drink enerzal or electoral to maintain a proper electrolyte balance. Opt for coconut water, cucumber and watermelon juice, and grab a protein bar, post-match. To prevent inflammation after one plays kabaddi, make sure you consume omega 3 and antioxidant-rich foods. Eat walnuts, flax seeds, cold water fishes like mackerel and sardine. Don’t consume the food immediately after playing kabaddi as your body system has to cool down. Once your body system cools down, one can have buttermilk, rice and so on.”
