Q: I am physically active, but do not always eat a
A: Good nutrition plays an important role in exercise performance. The recommended diet for active individuals, at all fitness levels, is a high carbohydrate diet containing adequate protein, vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids
As protein and mineral needs are also important, choose lower fat dairy products, legumes, nuts, eggs
Regular exercise may increase the loss of some minerals and alter the needs for certain vitamins.
Due to hectic lifestyles, it can be a challenge to obtain your nutritional needs on a daily basis. I recommend that active individuals take a daily multivitamin, such as Centrum ®, and eat well-rounded healthy meals to support their nutritional needs. Centrum ® contains the essential vitamins and minerals necessary to maintain good health and to meet the needs of physical activity.
