7 TIPS for changing your diet to enhance your performance!

Here are seven tips that help Novak Djokovic —and can help you —change your diet and change your performance:

1. Start the day with a glass of water.
Make sure it's room temperature. Cold water slows digestion and diverts blood from where he wants it — his muscles
2. Cut out gluten.
No brainer.
3. Eat lots of avocados and cashew butter.
Good fats are key.
4. No caffeine and very little refined sugar. 
No alcohol during the tournaments, either.
5. Two spoons of manuka honey daily. 
Mostly known for its antibacterial properties for wounds, this is a pretty eccentric addition. 
6. Sleep eight hours a night and supplement with melatonin. 
Seems like a sensible strategy!
7. Reduce stress: yoga, tai chi, biofeedback and meditation.
