8/12 Whole Life Wednesday

Matt, Jenna, Tami, Lindsay, Michaèl, Katy and Coach Heidi enjoy some pre-workout mobility. 
Good nutrition is the foundation of good heath and wellness. Yet, we can become overwhelmed by the advice and information friends, family, and the internet provide. Our goal is to provide you sound, scientific-based, outcome-oriented nutrition information. 
One of our favorite sources for good nutrition practices is Precision Nutrition. Here we share with you their 5 healthy meal habits:
1. Eat slowly and stop eating at 80% full

• increases appetite awareness
  
• learn to listen to hunger cues and body sensations
  
• reduces total calorie intake
  

2. Eat protein dense foods with each meal

• easiest way to support daily protein needs
  
• may improve metabolism, body composition, and performance
  

3. Eat vegetables with each meal

• easiest way to achieve daily vegetable needs
  
• improved micronutrient and phytonutrient intake
  
• improves acid/alkaline status of the body
  
• helps to control overall food intake
  

4. Save high-starch meals until after exercise

• easiest way to control carb intake
  
• helps with nutrient timing
  

5. Eat good fats daily

• easiest way to balance fat intake
  
• improved inflammation control, hormonal profile, and metabolism
