Fausto Desalu: the diet of the Olympic athlete

““My diet is very important: Cooked ham, rice and chicken are my main foods. It is because I took so much care over my nutrition these last two years that I could make that leap in quality which, together with my team, allowed me to win at the Olympics.””

Well-being at mealtimes is one of the pillars of #FeelinGood: the Parmacotto Group’s sustainability programme with people at its heart. Well-being at mealtimes means respecting the principles of healthy and proper nutrition and leading a balanced lifestyle. Because food means culture and history, and is an all-Italian passion that the Group is proud to share with the world through its high-quality products that embody the pursuit of excellence. Rising to these challenges and achieving ambitious goals requires passion, commitment and determination: essential values in the world of sport.
