Fitness Nuggets (The early bird gets the worm)

Nutrition is a very important key to living, with so many choices to make when it comes to your health everything is truly is important.  I was reading a fitness related magazine on running it was talking about the Gatorade series 1,2,3 its very popular among athletes who perform all the time. It stated "100 trillion cells" , 600 muscles, 206 bones and 22 internal organs. Each series of Gatorade is geared toward your whole body, as I read further I thought this is a really good scientific way of getting the body to really prime, refuel and recover from the rigors of competition or exercising. Hmmmmm... what about the average working Joe who just don't have the time. Let's see, start out by eating a healthy breakfast this not only refuel your body but also jump-starts your day and may even benefit your overall health. So don't skip this meal. Well what are some healthy breakfast foods:


Healthy Breakfast Foods
  • Whole grains. Include whole-grain rolls, bagels, hot or cold whole-grain cereals, low-fat bran muffins, crackers, or toast.
  • Low-fat protein. Include peanut butter, lean meat, poultry or fish, or hard-boiled eggs.
  • Low-fat dairy. Include skim milk, low-fat yogurt and low-fat cheeses, such as cottage and natural cheeses.
  • Fruits and vegetables. Include fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables, 100 percent juice beverages without added sugar, or fruit and vegetable smoothies. Choose low-sodium versions of beverages, though.
Choose one or two options from each category to round out a healthy breakfast. With this start you'll be on the right track to a better you.
