Nutrition


We get a lot of you Future Soldiers asking about exercising and diets.  It is best to get with your doctor and/or a nutritionist/dietician for the best results.  Here are some good starting points for nuturition.
One thing that you have to do is hydrate.  You have to stay hydrated for your body to perform.  Whether you are running, working out or just sitting around, hydrating is very important.  If you are thirsty your body is already starting to dehydrate.  You also don’t want to drink too much water either.  Another part of good nutrition is eating the right foods for what you are doing.  You may want to look into high protein foods, vitamin enriched foods and good fats.  Some examples of high protein foods would be fish, beans, chicken, egg whites and beans.  Foods that will be vitamin enriched are veggies, whole grain breads and assorted fruits.  Here are two examples of good fats, fish (omega 3 fatty acid), nuts (almonds, peanuts, macadamia nuts, hazelnuts, pecans, cashews).
