Held in Beijing, the daily training and diet of professional<br \/>\nathletes has become a topic of interest for the Chinese citizen.<\/p>\n<p>Professional athletes need to have excellent and competitive skills, and<br \/>\na strong physique to show the best performance. Therefore, a rich, varied and balanced diet, together with the necessary<br \/>\ndaily training, is essential to maintain the optimal state of the body and<br \/>\nimprove sports performance. A good diet is essential in sports practice for<br \/>\nenergy generation and physical recovery. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For professional athletes, adequate intake of high-biological protein,<br \/>\nvitamins and minerals is especially important, as it contributes to muscle<br \/>\ndevelopment and maintaining normal biochemical functions.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In this context, the Mediterranean Diet, recognized as Intangible<br \/>\nHeritage of Humanity in 2010, is a world reference for varied and balanced<br \/>\ndiet. Within it, Iberian hams occupy a prominent place for their nutritional<br \/>\nvalues. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A recent study carried out by a Spanish university (UEX), highlights the<br \/>\nhigh biological value of the proteins presented in Iberian hams from Spain. In<br \/>\naddition, the study shows the essential amino acids Iberian ham provides, as<br \/>\nwell as the presence of minerals (potassium, phosphorus, selenium and zinc) and<br \/>\nvitamins of group B (B1, B2, B3, B6 and B12), and from the point of view of fat<br \/>\ncontent, the study highlights the high content of monounsaturated fatty acids<br \/>\nin Iberian Ham, and its richness in oleic acid. The replacement of saturated<br \/>\nfats by this type of fats presented in Iberian Ham, contributes to maintain<br \/>\nnormal levels of blood cholesterol.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The production of Iberian Ham involves a traditional elaboration process<br \/>\nbased on long curing times that sometimes lengthen 4, 5,&#8230; or even more years.<br \/>\nMatured naturally thanks to the climatology of the territory in which the ham<br \/>\nis made, they become a food of high nutritional value. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Iberian Jam\u00f3n is the most prestigious delicacy in Spain and one of<br \/>\nthe jewels of European cuisine, for its unique flavor, as well as for the<br \/>\nnutritional contributions it represents within a varied and balanced diet.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Precisely, to show<br \/>\nthe Chinese consumer the qualities and benefits of Iberian Ham, ASICI, with the<br \/>\nsupport of the EU, has launched &#8220;Iberian Hams of Spain, Ambassadors of<br \/>\nEurope in the World&#8221;. A historic promotional campaign led by renowned<br \/>\nSpanish chef Mario Sandoval (two Michelin stars) and an international network<br \/>\nof influential chefs, who are great spokesperson of world gastronomy, will<br \/>\nbring the benefits of Iberian Ham to consumers.
