FOOD, keeping it "real"!

Hey, I have been thinking a lot about nutrition this year; With a little help from Andrew Long I have made just a couple tweaks to my own personal food consumption, which have noticeable performance improvements.

Keeping it simple:
  • Chia seeds, take a look at the first three reasons for eating Chia seeds; http://www.nutsonline.com/cookingbaking/chia-seeds/premium.html. Read the book "Born To Run" as they are highlighted as a great natural supplement for endurance athletes.
  • Coconut water, more potassium than a banana, zero fat, zero sugars, 5 essential electrolytes, and gluten-free. Basically, this has become my sports drink without buying Gatorade. Read this...http://www.knowledgebase-script.com/demo/article-320.html
  • Bob's Mill hot breakfast cereals, they score a 94 on the NuVal chart (100 is a perfect food). Only takes 4 minutes to make, can load with fruit, and tastes great.

Feel free to ask me or Andrew any food related questions.
