Daily News | Three tips to keep your youth athletes in top nutritional shape this school year
When it comes to nutrition, many of us tend to focus on food’s relationship to weight loss or weight management rather than its powerful health-improving properties. Eating a well-balanced diet is preventative medicine and is essential for better brain function, higher energy levels, and a stronger immune system. And for the students in your family, proper nutrition is vital for enhancing not only their academic performance, but athletic abilities, too.
For youth athletes to thrive, they need easily accessible, nutritious snacks to power them through their days. Here are the top three ways to ensure your children are staying fueled and healthy:We know we’re supposed to drink water throughout the day. But why? Water regulates body temperature, lubricates joints, helps organs function properly, flushes toxins from the system, improves cognitive skills, and increases energy — all crucial functions for students to be successful.
Even Gatorade and other beverages marketed as “sports drinks,” intended to replenish the electrolytes lost during intense exercise, contain a substantial amount of artificial dyes and sugars. To create an all-star formula, fill a large water bottle halfway with Gatorade and dilute the rest with water to ensure that you’re staying well-hydrated.Don’t let pre-practice or pregame snacks be an afterthought. The food an athlete eats can make all the difference in practice and game-day performance.
