What is proper nutrition?

It’s equal in importance to exercise and is a critical tool in maximizing our bodies’ performance. Nutrition refers to the food, drink, vitamins and supplements we give our body to support our activity. These needs vary in each individual, but there are general guidelines to follow to help prevent or reduce common health problems. Eat a variety of foods, including plenty of vegetables, fruits, and whole-grain products. Choose lean meats, poultry, fish, beans and low-fat dairy products, drink lots of water, and keep salt, sugar, alcohol, and fat to a minimum.
