c. Hygiene, Diet, and Training Schedule

A proper diet, good hygiene, and careful planning of practice are essential in supporting efficient training regimen for karatedo. They help prevent sickness, abnormal tiredness, and injury.

The practice of karatedo should take place in a clean dojo to avoid breathing dust and dirt. For the same reasons, karatedogi must be kept unspoiled and protective equipment kept in good order to avoid any risk of injury. Before practice it is advisable to eat lightly, preferably high energy foods rich in glucose, which provide the muscles with adequate nutrition during practice. The bladder should be empty to avoid risk of rupture. Always practice with full dedication, putting all of your body and mind into it while exercising enough control and care to avoid accidents. Because the digestion process slows down after practice due to physical exhaustion, slowly ingest high calory foods containing vitamin B and glucose to help speed up the recovery process.

The lactic acid remaining in the muscular tissues must be evacuated by doing some light exercises accompanied by deep breathing, meditation, relaxation, massages, and rest. A good sleep is the best way to recover from practice as it relaxes all the body, facilitates blood circulation, and regenerates the nervous and cerebral activities.
