North Americans are criticized as overeaters and undermovers. Current research suggests we eat too much fat, sugar, sait and protein; we consume too many calories whlle flot getting enough fruits, vegetables, mile and milk products. We are well fed, but not well nourished. There is a differencet1 What we eat is an important determinant of how physically fit, we are; a person can be well nourished and flot pliyslcally fit - but he cannot be physically fit and not well nourished. The importance of proper nutrition is the same for everyone - summer athletes as welI an non-athietes, and the dietary requirements do flot differ greatly. The energy requirement for an everage aduit wil vary between 1800 and M80 calories dependlng on - sex, age and size; a more active individual may require 3600 calories while top-class athietes may need 6M0 calories by an increase in ail "extra" calories should be obtained by an increase in al aspects of a well-balanced diet and that can be met by followlng CANADA'S FOOD GUIDE which ad- vises us concerning the four groups of foods, requlred daily, which iclude the correct amounts of fats, carbohydrates and proteins: 1. MILK AND MILK PRODUCTS (Aduit Requirement: two servings) Includes sklm, 2%, whole, buttermilk, reconstituted dry or evaporated mllk. May be used as a beverage or aâs the main ingredient in other foods. Cheese may also be chosen. (1 serving -l1cup). 2. BREADS AND CEREALS (Aduit Requirement: three to five servings) WMole grain or enrlched. Also inludes rice, macaroni, spaghetti or noodies. (one serving - %cup) 3. MEAT, F1811, POULTRY & ALTER- NATES(Adult requirement: two servlngs) Alternates include peanut butter; peas, beans or lentils; nuts or seeds; cheddar or cottage cheese; eggs. (one serving - two to three ounces) 4. FRUITS AND VEGETABLES <Aduit requirement: 4-5 servings) Cooked, raw or julces; yellow, green or green leafy; fresh, frozen or eanned. (one serving - % cup) To ensure a balanced diet, the CANADA FOOD GUIDE suggests you keep in mind: 1. VARIETY Choose différent kinds of foods from within each group in appropriate numbers of servings and por- tion sizes. 2. ENERGY BALANCE Balance energy intake from foods witb energy out- put froni physical activity to control weight. For additional energy, increase the number and size of servings from the various food groups and/or add other foods. 3. MODERATION Select aid prepare foods with limlted amounts of fat, sugar aid sait. If alcohol is consumed, use llmited amounts. Just as many training routines are geared to split- second accuracy, so it is equally logical to consider nutritional requirements for summer athletes just as exactly. Experts advise that a pre-event meal is flot essen- tial; but if an athiete doew wish to eat,. make sure the meal is easlly digestible and high in car- bohydrates. Space the last meal at least three hours before the event. Eat well at breakfast - it is the only meal to show important increases in athietic per- formance. "Crash diets"l put a uuinecessary strain on the heart and body; avoid them. Bulky foods high in cellulose or -fibre should be avoided before gametizne as well as tea and coffee which stimulate initially but depress later. Alcohol, which affects co- ordination, should1 neyer be consumed during training or before competition. The function of food is to provide us with the necessary energy to maintain bodily functions both at rest and during varions forma of physical ac- tivity. Eat only as many calories as you buri off in your daily activities and exercise. You wil enjoy your summer more if you shape up your nutrition - it will shape up your game.
