Check out our Top 3 Nutrition Tips over Christmas to maintain immune health, eat well and meet your performance goals
1. FRUIT & VEG
Eat at least 7 pieces of vegetables and fruit per day. Availability is the best ability and keeping your immune system strong is the key to continue attending all training sessions and matches during the festive period.
2. BREAKFAST
Have a large protein based breakfast everyday. With heavy exam schedules and lots of time spent travelling to meet friends & family, aim to maintain your strength with a breakfast containing milk, eggs, yogurt, smoked salmon or ham everyday.
3. FIBRE & PROTEIN RICH FOOD
Aim to keep yourself full with fibre rich, protein rich meals on your days off training. This will ensure you do not overeat and add excess body weight. Fruit, nuts, vegetables, seeds with every meal will help with increasing the fibre in your diet.
