An excess of the wrong types of food can hinder a perfor- mance while the right nutrients will help athletes reach their peak performance level. Cathy Thomson, Nutrition Consultant for the Huron County Health Unit, grid Sheryl Gilbert, Health Education Consultant, will be speaking at a Nutrition for Peak Perfor- mance workshop to be held in Clinton on April 13. According to Mrs. Thomson, the theme will be nutrition and fitness, giving the au- dience an overview of basic exercise and fitness and how their food intake affects the way their body reacts to the physical exer- cise. "We have to go beyond the Canada's Food Guide now because people know so much more about nutrition. What will be discuss- ed could be called nutrition recommenda- tions for Canadians,"• commented Mrs. Thomson. Four basic recommendations she gives to those who take their nutrition and exercise seriously are: - a series of guidelines in disease prevention. These guidelines will help athletes put the food guide into a balanced diet. - reducing fat, sugar, alcohol and salt in- take. They are related to cancer and heart disease, and although the diseases can not be totally eliminated by cutting down on these foods, it will help reduce the chances of getting the disease. - emphasis on whole grain breads and cereals, fruits and .vegetables opposed to taking vitamin supplements. By taking too many vitamins, an athlete could harm his body, causing weakness in muscles and making him feel listless. '- by controlling food intake (diet) and exer- cise, athletes can reach and maintain their ideal weight. During the workshop, a film will be shown on nutrition for sports followed by a discus- sion on fades and fallacies relating to sports and a comparison of an athlete's diet to a non -athlete's. Topics such as pre -competition meals, food amounts for athletes, protein and whether vitamin pill supplements improve an athletes performance or not are on the agenda. Mrs. Thomson says meals should be con- sumed three to five hours prior to a competi- tion in order to allow the meal to be digested properly. She also recommends that "low fat, high carbohydrate meals should be eaten so that the body can digest the food easily. "High fat meals take longer to clear...and. the nutrients don't go to the muscles. Car- bohydrates are good for athletes because they can be easily digested." • The myth that a soft drink or chocolate . bar right before a game will help give Bike Ride for Bicycle enthusia•ts in this area know it's time to dust off the old two -wheeler and get fit' out of storage, once the annual an- nouncements for the Goderich Bike-a-thon for Cancer start to circulate.

The body still needs three to five hours to proper- ly digest these foods and give the nutrients to the muscles. The amount of food an athletfshould eat depends upon the sport they are par- ticipating in. "Heavy training or competition means more food," said Mrs. Thomson. "People who don't eat or drink before a competition so that they can weigh-in are not right. It „takes 24-36 hours to re-hydrate...There's no way they can do that between the weigh-in and the competition." She also said that many people have Bulimia or Anorexia Nervosa because they eat before a competition and then force themselves to be sick. She states that this practise is very unhealthy for the body. • An athlete's requirement for protein is slightly higher than the average person's, but because their "food intake is inereacPd, they get enough pre kin: The . muscle is predominatly made lifp of protein and water," said Mrs. Thomson who believes the best way to increase muscle is to place stress on it. Vitamin supplements have never been proven to better an athlete's performance. If the athlete has a well balanced diet, they will receive enough vitamins. The April 13 workshop will be open to fitness leaders, coaches, parents of children involved in sports or anyone who would like to know how they can reach their peak per- formance in sports. A $10 fee will be charged to those in- terested in, attending, with a personal kit on nutrition, fitness activities and a quiz prepared by the Ontario Dietetic Associa- tion to be handed out. Anyone wishing to at- tend is asked to phone Mrs. Thomson at the Health Unit in Goderich. Cancer is set for April 28 obey the basic rules of the road.
