March is Nutrition Month
It is important to be physically active each day. Taylor School is participating in Jump Rope for Heart this month. Have you thought about how are you fueling your body?
The following recommendations are for competition or intense training and would apply to physical activity lasting 60 minutes or longer; and stop-start sports.
A meal before competition or intense training should be high in carbohydrate, moderate in protein, lower in fat and consumed 3-4 hours before activity. Eat smaller amounts of similar foods if there is less than 2 hours before the event. Protein takes longer to digest–eat less close to strenuous exercise. Drink fluid with the meal.
