For youth and adults engaging in physical activity and sports, healthy eating is essential for optimizing performance. Combining good nutrition with physical activity can lead to a healthier lifestyle. Maximize your nutrient-packed foods by eating whole grains, lean protein, and fruits and vegetables. Be sure to balance your meals and don’t forget to eat your low-fat dairy products like yogurt and cheese. Be sure to stay hydrated by drinking water rather than sugary drinks. It may be helpful to keep a reusable water bottle with you to always have water on hand.
