Did you know that your food choices today influence your health tomorrow? Healthy eating can significantly lower your risk for future disease such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, obesity and diabetes. Swimmers and non-swimmers alike can achieve their goal of lifelong health and fitness by selecting from the following top foods: Berries
are full of antioxidants and help to protect your body from cancer, heart
disease and even Alzheimer's disease. Berries are simple to
prepare. After rinsing, add
blueberries, raspberries, strawberries or blackberries to cereal, frozen
yogurt and salads. Salmon
contains lots of omega-3 fats, the type of fat shown to lower the risk of
heart disease, stroke, dementia and depression. Include two servings of salmon per
week to provide your body with this healthy fat. Choose wild salmon over farmed
salmon. Whole
grains
(whole wheat bread, popcorn, brown rice, oatmeal and barley) are good
sources of fiber and nutrients and provide your body with carbs, your fuel
for exercise. Whole grains
consist of the entire grain seed.
Look for the words "whole" or "whole grain" when reviewing
ingredient lists to ensure you are selecting whole grains. A diet rich in whole grains can
lower your risk for diabetes, colon cancer,and inappropriate weight
gain. Low
fat milk and dairy products
provide your body with protein, calcium, phosphorous and vitamin D,
important nutrients for bone health.
Vitamin D also blunts the risk of several diseases including
multiple sclerosis, cancer and diabetes. For optimal health, incorporate
low fat (skim or 1%) milk and yogurt into your meals and snacks several
times a day. Green
veggies
such as spinach, collards, broccoli, kale and asparagus are full of
nutrients (vitamin A, vitamin C, folate iron, and phytochemicals) and help
lower risk of birth defects, heart disease, cancer and age-related vision
loss. Choose a variety of vegetables every day. Green veggies can be
roasted, stir fried, or added to a salad or soup. Water.
Many individuals, including swimmers, are at risk of dehydration. Dehydration can lead to headaches,
fatigue and poor performance. Stay hydrated by including 8-10
glasses of water a day. Avoid energy drinks and caffeinated beverages as
they may lead to further dehydration. By
focusing on these nutrient-rich foods, you will fuel your body for today
and protect your health for decades to come.
