- What you put in your body determines how well you perform in athletics and in developing
a healthy body.
Ages 10 -14
Boys and Girls, in order to get strong bones and a healthy body, you MUST EAT PROPERLY.
There are no benefits of eating Junk Foods, Fried Foods, Candy, and Soda!
1) First thing you should do is to eat healthy foods. They are: lean meats, dairy (not ice cream,
butter and cream cheese), monitor cheese intake ,eat fruits / vegetables and the right starches.
2) Along with eating the right foods, you must eat at least 1 full plate at each meal in order to grow
properly.
3) Drink water and juices during meals, no soda (Gatorade is not meant for a regular beverage, only
during athletic events with water). When playing a competitive sport, the only thing you should drink
during that time is a sport drink (Gatorade) and water, they should both be consumed to replenish the
body, rehydrate properly.
