While certain dietary supplements have a<br />
place in a healthy lifestyle, they are not<br />
intended to replace food.²,³ Consumers<br />
and athletes should prioritize a wellbalanced<br />
diet before considering<br />
expensive dietary supplements.¹ A<br />
healthy diet should contain a variety of<br />
whole foods such as fruits, vegetables,<br />
whole grains, and protein. Good nutrition<br />
and hydration is the best way to<br />
maximize athletic performance and<br />
achieve optimal health status.¹<br />
QUICK TIP: HOLIDAY<br />
NUTRITION FOR ATHLETES<br />
The holiday season can be a stressful<br />
time for those used to a regimented<br />
lifestyle. Changes in training routines and<br />
eating can become difficult to navigate<br />
this time of year for athletes and highly<br />
active individuals. However, it is possible<br />
to maintain your personal health and<br />
athletic goals while participating in<br />
holiday indulgences. For this tip, try using<br />
the 80/20 rule.⁴ This means consuming<br />
nutrient-dense meals and snacks 80<br />
percent of the time and having one or<br />
two servings of your favorite holiday treat<br />
with the other 20 percent.⁴ It is important<br />
to remember that food is meant to be<br />
enjoyed and restriction can actually be<br />
worse for your health. Treating yourself to<br />
something a little extra will not<br />
compromise your fitness goals.<br />
