Proper nutrition is essential in maintaining good health and fitness. A well balanced diet, in conjunction with consistent exercise, is key in being healthy, fit, and feeling good about yourself.
Smaller meals are easier to digest and eating more frequently helps to speed up the metabolism.
As in life, balance is key. Following the above guidelines with regard to daily intake percentages will help with making certain you are not overloading on one food source. The body needs fat in order for the organs and nervous system to function properly. Without enough fat in their system, women can have problems with proper menstruation and men can have prostate problems later on in life. You can have your body fat tested at the RecPlex by making an appointment with Tom Vitucci, Director of Recreation and Wellness.
