Healthy living

Healthy living is very important no matter what sport you're involved in. Whether it's what kinds of food you eat or how much sleep you get. It affects how you perform and how well you do at the particular sport you're in. On a regular basis, when practicing, because your exercising on a regular basis, having a balanced diet is best. Not eating too much junk food and drinking plenty of water is most beneficial.

When competing, it's best to cleanse your body of any junk food or bad influence you could have on your body. not eating any junk food or high sugar products is good . Try avoiding those so you can be at your best performance level. Getting enough sleep is very important as well. Making sure you're well rested and have enough energy to perform is best. If you don't get enough sleep you'll be tired and not prepared to perform none the less do well.

At my school we go on a one week diet before each competition. We cleanse our body of any junk food. We start, give or take a few days, one week before we perform and then can be off our "diet" after we've performed. At first I didn't think I would like it, but it turns out I actually do. I feel so much better about myself and healthier to. When it comes time to perform I don't have to worry about  what I've eaten and can focus on what I'm suppose to do instead of focusing on little insignificant things like what nasty thing I ate last night and if I'm going to puke it up cause I'm so nervous, just kidding:) but it definitely makes me feel better and more prepared when I eat right. Have you ever heard the phrase "you are what you eat"? Well I definitely believe in this statement because it seems to be true, at least for me anyways, you feel good when you eat eight and feel like crap when you don't. At least in my experience it's been this way.
