Barbados cricket tournament named in honor of the late Tony Cozier

 


Using food to deal with emotional distress or emotional eating, as it is called, is an essential part of a typical existence for many people. Although stereotyped as physical specimens, surprise, surprise, our elite athletes are no different.

At the moment, many athletes are hard hit at home by insecurity. They are stressed because of this. Some even adapt and readjust to the ever-changing curfew guidelines that affect stadiums where they often train.

An article published by SportsMax entitled: Are They T20 Cricketers or Pillsbury Doughboys? even admitted that the CPL 2020 teams would have faced some uncertainty at some point before the tournament began.

While the article focused on how an athlete’s posture plays an important role in their optimal performance, it did nothing to address their mental and emotional state. Instead, the article compared the cricketers to puffer fish.

Athletes are paid to look their best. Their appearance affects their performance, brand deals, sponsorships, I get it. But probably some athletes just reacted to their reality, as food is therapeutic and provides comfort.

Nutrition coach Gabrielle Julal, who recently joined sports nutritionist Ms. Patricia Thompson at the Jamaica Olympic Association’s Eat Fit Stamina Workshop, said that restricted diets can make it difficult for an athlete to resist certain foods, especially during vulnerable and stressful times.

Many athletes limit themselves too much – they have many limitations and certain rules for maintaining their body image. But what most people don’t recognize is that when we have these limitations / mental limitations, it increases our desire to eat certain foods, “Julal said.

She suggests that in this case, food is the way to deal with the constant cravings for food.

Julal explains: A good way to deal with urges is to clear the lines from your head first – allow yourself to eat. The more you start to eat certain foods that were previously restricted, the less likely you are to crave them because you mentally no longer have this forbidden fruit for eating.

She added that it is important to be sensitive to them [athletes] because people expect them to look a certain way and if they don’t, it can spark disordered thoughts about food and then they can limit themselves more.

Athletes should not deprive themselves of the physical and equally important emotional needs required as humans. But if eating is the only form of coping, that’s a problem.

According to Julal, food should be a source of comfort and pleasure for us, but if it is the only form of coping, she encourages athletes to find other ways to deal with difficult emotions, such as:

Talking to another athlete who is also going through it as that will encourage both athletes to share their experiences in a space that allows them to interact with each other.

She also hinted that sharing doesn’t have to be between athletes, but also through honest conversations with a family member or friend.

Julal even suggested that engaging in some form of exercise, learning new ways to prepare food, and finding other fun activities can improve mood.
