Nutrition for Soccer Players: Top 10 Foods to Eat
The foods we eat essentially tell our bodies what to do; ​deflame​ or ​inflame​. Just as certain foods can increase inflammation in the body, the opposite can be true if anti-inflammatory foods are consumed on a regular basis. Certain foods have high antioxidant levels, gut-healing probiotics, and essential vitamins and minerals that can keep the body running at an optimal level.

Athletes create stress in the body via hard trainings and games and therefore, should have these foods on their ongoing grocery list.
