Football Practice

Question
Starting tomorrow, I have football pratice from 7 to 10 in the morning and 3 to 6 in the afternoon five days a week, during hot, humid summers. On Saturdays, I have four hours of conditioning. Only Sundays to I have off. What can I eat to help me have energy, and have it still be healthy?

Answer
Good sources of energy that will provide a sustained amount of energy are complex carbohydrate foods, such as oats - in the form of power bars, oatmeal and granola.
For a quick burst of energy grapes, raisins, bananas, cantaloupe and watermelon are good choices.
If you've been very active and have perspired heavily, you've probably lost some potassium. This can lead to increased fatigue. Therefore eating high potassium foods such as oranges, bananas, apricots or cantaloupe can help energy levels. It is also important to ensure you drink regularly.
