JADCO’S NUTRITION CORNER The Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission continues to encourage athletes to remain safe and healthy during the pandemic. Proper nutrition can help an athlete to remain healthy. The JADCO Nutrition Guide for Jamaican Athletes recommends that athletes have a well-planned eating strategy throughout training. This will help athletes to train well, promote efficient recovery between training sessions and allows athletes to optimise their talents. The Nutrition Guide for Jamaican Athletes endorses the eight Food Based Dietary Guidelines that Jamaica has developed which aims to promote healthy behaviours and practices that will help athletes make healthy food choices. However, for an athlete to meet the physical demands of sport it is important to have the proper fuel from food which supplies carbohydrate, protein and proper hydration. Therefore, having a well-planned eating strategy requires discipline and is a good investment for athletes.
