What is Sports Nutrition? 

Athletes set specific goals when it relates to their performance and records. Whether they want to improve their time during a run or plan to improve their performance on the field, an athlete must eat a healthy diet plan. Sports nutrition assists with personal goals by providing the tools that your body needs to perform at your peak each time you get on the field or court.

Sports nutrition refers to the dietary habits that help athletes improve their performance and abilities on the field or court. Essentially, it is the diet plan that is most suitable for a specific type of sport or individual.

When we provide a nutrition plan for athletes at our clinic, it focuses on your specific nutritional needs. Since athletes need a specific diet that focuses on their goals and situation, we take measures to ensure that your diet plan focuses on the type of nutrition you require to reach your performance goals.

Improving Health Through Nutrition

A healthy body starts with the nutrients that you eat. Generally, an athlete needs a balanced diet that includes a variety of fruits, vegetables and lean protein sources. Some athletes also require a reasonable amount of whole grain carbohydrate sources to provide energy for long runs or extensive training. 

Suggestions we offer include:

• Supplementation for appropriate nutritional levels
• Recommendations for overall diet
• Limitations on specific foods that harm performance
• Suggestions regarding exercise based on personal goals

Sports nutrition is a process that incorporates dietary habits with exercise plans. As an athlete, you need to take measures to fuel your body with the building blocks that are most appropriate for your athletic endeavors without taking risks with your overall health and well-being. A balanced diet is a key factor in ensuring that you accomplish your goals.

Each athlete has different dietary needs and performance goals. At our clinic, we take the steps to help you prepare for athletic activities by addressing your foundation. To learn more about the ways that your nutritional habits impact your athletic performance, contact us today.
