The question athletes need to be asking themselves is: Do I know what foods work best for my athletic body? The truth is that there's no one-size-fits-all way of eating for sports, and every athlete is unique. However, here are some tips to get you started with injury prevention and healing.
1.) Watch the youtube videos to get a better understanding of what to eat when injured.
2.) Click on the different links, and read the information on what food to eat when injured, to heal faster, and repair the injury.
3.) Complete the assignment, and submit into the hand in bin.
From this lesson you will learn how nutrition can help you heal when you are injured.
