1. Your sports team needs advice on how they can maintain a healthy diet.
Whatadvice will you give the sports team? (5)
As a Physical Education and Sports Coach, I would recommend that the participants
maintain a healthy and balanced diet to optimize their athletic performance. It is important to
encourage them to consume a variety of nutrient-dense foods such as vegetables, fruits,
and fish to ensure they obtain an adequate amount of protein, carbohydrates, and essential
minerals.
In terms of protein, participants should be encouraged to consume lean meats, poultry, fish,
eggs, dairy products, and plant-based sources such as legumes and tofu. For
carbohydrates, they should consume whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, which provide
fibre, vitamins, and minerals that are essential for optimal performance.
It is recommended to limit the intake of fatty foods, fried foods, and sweets. Instead, the
participants should be advised to consume healthy fats from sources such as nuts, seeds,
avocado, and fatty fish. Processed and high-fat foods such as chips and chocolate should
be avoided, as they provide minimal nutritional value and can negatively affect athletic
performance.
