Giving your body fuel to best express its strengths is essential. We have therefore decided to recommend 7 foods that should never be missing from your diet, rich in nutrients and good to the palate.
Padel is a sport that can be played even 4 5 times a week without the body feeling the consequences, thus hindering the rhythms of daily life.
