![]() Key Point: Eat healthy foods and adjust your intake to your activity level while you have to stay at home. If you are a student athlete, you are likely facing a lot of uncertainty during the COVID 19 crisis. Will my sport resume this season? Will my sport start on time next season? How can I keep in playing condition during quarantine? Each of you will have a coach who will direct you about specific suggestions for working out at home. If you have a yard, you can try to duplicate drills that you are used to performing with your team. There are also plenty of videos available for running drills, stick handling drills, throwing drills, etc. One BIG way that you can help yourself while stuck at home is to eat as well as possible. Don’t let a stay at home order become an excuse for a junk food free for all. Here are 5 tips for keeping strong and healthy by eating well.
Nutrition Insider’s Tip: Look for brightly colored fruits and vegetables as these tend to have a high nutrient content. Think blueberries, spinach, beets, oranges, sweet potatoes, broccoli, strawberries, etc. © 2020 Kathleen Searles, MS, RDN, CSSD, LD
