Renegade Nutrition
Food is medicine. Food is fuel. And food can be the key to an
athlete’s success. Just like a car needs gas to run, your body needs energy to perform. Energy comes from a variety of food and beverage sources, and some forms are better than others. The most optimal fuel for your body will come from quality non-processed whole foods. These include a variety of meats, fruits, and vegetables as well as nuts, seeds, certain oils, and dairy. The goal is to eat a balanced diet, putting the right things in your body at the right time to achieve
your best possible performance.
