Hi, I’m Weis Dietitian Emily Bumgarner with the Weis HealthyBites tip of the week.
Whether you’re hitting the trails , tackling a workout or chasing after your kids, what you eat plays a big
role in how you feel and perform. Nutrition is for everyone and here are some simple tips to help fuel your day.
- Carbs are our body’s primary fuel source. Get them from foods like whole-grain pasta, brown rice or sweet potatoes.
- Hydration is key, no matter your activity level. Be sure to sip on water throughout your day.
- Our muscles need protein to recover and rebuild. Try a variety of sources like grilled chicken, eggs, Greek yogurt, beans or tofu.
- Healthy fats are part of a balanced diet including avocados, nuts, and salmon.
- Keep snack time simple with quick on-the-go snacks like bananas, trail mix or granola bars.
Stock up on everything you need to refuel at your local Weis Markets.
