Food is Fuel

Wednesday –

Eat nutrient-dense foods-

A healthy, balanced diet gives your body nutrients. Nutrients are like fuel for your body. They give you energy. And they keep your heart beating, your brain active, and your muscles working. They also help to build and strengthen bones, muscles, and other body tissues.
Your body needs three major nutrients for energy. These are carbohydrate, protein, and fat.

“we want to switch our mindset to seeing food as fuel”

The food you fuel yourself with is EVERYTHING. From your energy, your mood, your skin, to your personality, all of it starts with what is on the end of your fork. You get to choose how good you feel, and learning which foods work for your unique body is essential for optimal performance in every area of life.

Water is important too! Your minimum target should be half of your body weight in ounces a day, but shoot for your full body weight in ounces.
