EXERCISE IS NOT JUST ABOUT GOING TO THE GYM Starting an exercise program can be exciting but also challenging with regards to achieving our dietary needs along with our physical goals. Don’t sweat the small stuff — These tips from Clinical Dietitian Michael Arp can help you on your exercise journey:
Start slowly It is important to make small changes and focus on 1 or 2 things at a time to build healthy long-term habits. Remember: Eating healthy is a marathon, not a sprint.
Add in fruits & vegetables No matter what your goals are, eating a wide variety of fruits and vegetables can greatly benefit you. The needed fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants help to support our general health, provide energy for exercise, and assist with recovery. Be intentional on filling ½ of your plate with non-starchy vegetables and fruit.
Don’t forget the protein Whether beginning an exercise routine or exercising for recreation, you most likely don’t need added protein powders. However, that’s not to say that our body doesn’t need protein with our meals. Protein includes amino acids for growth and repair after exercise (i.e. chicken, fish, eggs, beans, seeds, nuts, or dairy). Remember portions: A standard serving size of meat is the size of a deck of cards!
Dump the sugary drinks Reducing added sugar greatly improves health and exercise performance. Unless we are exercising for 1 hour+, we probably don’t need sugary sports drinks which may be adding to our waistline, and not helping our goals. Focus on unsweetened beverages and water!
Hydration is vitally important to maintain adequate hydration while exercising as performance declines with minimal dehydration. Focus on drinking 8-16 oz of water every 1-2 hours and be sure to have consumed 16 oz. of water before and after you exercise. Concentrate on drinking small sips at a time.
