Nutrition Program

“Eat a rainbow.” Ever heard that before? Those are words to live by; they are the simplest, easiest guidelines for eating healthy on a daily basis. By eating a variety of foods that are different in color we assure ourselves that we are getting the various, essential, micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) that play a major role in how our body functions. Additionally, they can be key components that help facilitate weight loss and weight gain.

When it comes to evaluating your current eating plan there isn’t a certain number on a scale or a specific pants size that will tell you if your current food intake is adequate in essential vitamins and minerals. You can be a healthy weight and still be lacking in key nutrients. In fact, right now in America, Vitamin-D deficiency is recognized as an epidemic crisis in adults and children.

Our sports dietitian can help you in many ways like:

• Weight Loss
• Weight Gain
• Lower blood pressure
• Lower cholesterol
• Heart disease prevention
• Diabetes
• Pre – and post-diet guidance for bariatric surgery
• Competition meal planning
