Drink plenty of water. Even a mild state of
dehydration can affect performance causing you
to slow down and lose concentration.
Include plenty of fruits, vegetables, and
whole
grain foods daily! Apples,
oranges,
bananas,
carrots,
tomatoes, and
your favorite whole grain cereal
make
excellent snacks.
Got milk? The calcium and vitamin D
are necessary
for proper bone growth and much more. Go for three
servings daily of calcium rich foods or milk.
Cheese, yogurt, or 2% or less milk are excellent
choices.
Limit high fat and refined sugar treats.
These
provide you with calories but little else. They are
often low in vitamins, minerals, fiber, water, protein
and other nutrients your body needs.
