  4. Why is Nutrition Important? Nutrition: • Nutrition is the study of food, how the body uses it to produce energy, & build & repair itself • Backbone of our health & Key to performance enhancement • Dictates our body composition • Vitamins: Help regulate growth and metabolism • Minerals: Chemical elements that help the body function • Water: regulates body temp, digestion/absorption, blood formation & elimination Good nutrition includes: • Eating a diet that supplies all of the essential nutrients • Taking in nutrients to prevent dietary deficiencies • Avoid over consuming calories, sugars, fats, & sodium • Avoiding foods that contribute to food sensitivity

  5. Macronutrients • Carbohydrates- 4kcal per Gram • Main source of fuel for the brain • Key energy source for muscular contraction • Sources include whole grains, pasta, fruits, vegetables • Fats- 9kcal per Gram • Fat is a form of energy storage • Also known as triglyicerides • Part of a larger class of substances called lipids • When broken down, used for energy • Proteins- 4kcal per Gram • Important for building and repairing body tissue • Helps regulate metabolism and protect from disease • Not usually a major fuel source • Basic structural units of proteins are amino acids

  6. Micronutrients • Vitamins • Help regulate growth and metabolism • Water-soluble vitamins are not stored in the body (B & C) • Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the body (A,D,E, & K) • Minerals • Chemical elements that help the body function • Key minerals: calcium, iron, iodine, sodium • Water • Comprises about 60-70% of your body • Key nutrient needed for regulating body temperature, digestion, absorption, blood formation and elimination

  7. Symptoms of Food Sensitivity • Digestive trouble • bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea • Sleep issues • Fatigue, insomnia, waking at night • Congestion • Sneezing and coughing • Muscle aches and joint pain • Dark circles under your eyes • Dull, lifeless hair • Skin problems • Acne, eczyma • Premature aging • Poor or unsteady energy • Weight gain • Mood problems • Lack of focus, brain fog, depression, anxiety, irritability

  10. Strategies for Success • Eat within an hour of waking up and within an hour after your workout (>15gm protein). • A vegan shake (www.healthyenergyshake.com) makes it easy and gives you a lot of added benefits • Drop/Limit the top 7 high-Food Intolerance foods. • Dairy, Gluten, Peanuts, Soy, Sugar and Sugar Substitutes (corn and eggs) • Eat every 4-6 hours. • Eat within an hour of waking up. • Don’t eat anything for the last 2 to 3 hours before bed. • Ex.

  11. Strategies for Success • Eat a variety of healthy foods on your plate. • 50% non-starchy vegetables and high-fiber, low-glycemiccarbs • 25% clean, lean proteins • 25% healthy fats • Stay hydrated throughout the day. • 16oz: upon wakening • 16oz: 30-60min before each meal • During a meal: limit to 4 – 8 oz, you don’t want to get in the way of your digestive enzymes (it dilutes your stomach acid). Start drinking water again 60 minutes after each meal. • 8oz: before bed • TOTAL: 64oz minimum. • Drink more if you’re exercising heavily, are heavier. • You should be drinking approximately half your weight in ounces.

Strategies for Success • Eat plenty of fiber. • Should have 50g per day • If you’re not getting that now, start at 10g and every other day work up 5g till you eventually get to 50g. • Slow down your meal times. • It takes time for your brain to get the signal it is full. • Take smaller bites. • Serve yourself smaller portions. • Use smaller plates so it looks like you have more food. • Chew your food thoroughly (that is where digestion starts). • Plan your meals and prepare in advance. • Take healthy snacks with you. • Keep a scoop of a shake and a shaker with you in case you ever need a healthy meal on the go (just add water and ice and shake it). • Avoid eating in restaurants when possible. When not possible, make wise choices on the food and proportions.

  13. Strategies for Success • Pay attention when you're eating. • Do not eat in front of the TV. • Do not eat in the car. • Sit down with friends and family at home to enjoy a meal. • Manage your stress. • Stress is one of the major factors for weight gain. • Go to bed by 10:30pm. • Get at least 7 hours of sleep. • Pause, do your breathing. • Slow down.
