"Practice, workout, proper nutrition. In golf, that's really where the strokes come off the scorecard."
~ Paula Creamer
You really are what you eat. A diet with a healthy balance of lean proteins, complex carbohydrates, and essential healthy fats is important for providing quality fuel for the optimum functioning of your body and mind. Good nutrition means stronger bones, muscles, joints, and tissues and a higher level of energy and concentration.
Fruits and vegetables contain dietary fiber for heart and digestive health, nutrients such as potassium and natural sodium for proper muscle function, Vitamin C to support the immune system and prevent bone loss, and antioxdants to protect against heart disease and certain cancers.
Whole grains are naturally low in fat and provide your body with dietary fiber, B-vitamins, and minerals to help the muscles release energy and to promote a healthy weight and strong bones. Whole grains have been linked to a lower risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, some cancer, and other health problems.
Lean proteins contain iron, magnesium, zinc, and essential vitamins to help you build and repair tissues and maintain strong muscles and bones. Lean proteins also help your body maintain its lean muscle mass, and they promote weight loss and help reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease.
Low-fat dairy products contain essential nutrients like calcium, vitamin D, and potassium, and they're another good source of protein. Calcium and vitamin D help improve bone mass, and potassium has been shown to help maintain healthy blood pressure.
Healthy oils are a major dietary source of Vitamin E and essential fatty acids that help reduce blood cholesterol levels and promote healthy organ function. Polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats are healthy fats, and they're an essential part of a balanced diet.
