The Huron Expositor, 1983-06-01, Page 11Athletes need proper mass -manufactured food, it gets harder and harder for the athlete to know whether he is getting those necessary nutrients in his diet. In order to understand the nutrition problem, a short biology lesson is needed. The body is made up of billions of cells, including neurons which make up the brain, intestinal cells which absorb nutrients and white blood cells which act as the immunity system. If these cells are to work properly, they need food which contains 40 nutrients. Here lies the problem. Most of the food four in grocery stores today is manufac- tured by large corporations whose sole purpose is to make money, not to keep us healthy, This man-made food has had most of the essential nutrients removed from it, leaving only four or five to do the work of 40. "The cells are working on less and less vitamins and minerals until something BY SUSAN HUNDERTMARK Athletes make great demands on their bodies. Running, jumping, stretching, they put a lot of physical stress on themselvejs but often they expect their bodies to perform without supplying them with the proper fuel to do so - nutritious food. Like scar, which needs gasoline and oil to run properly, the human body needs 40 nutrients to rem: in in a healthy condition. These nutrients are especially important to the athlete whose boo;; is using them faster than to the non -athlete who is not placing as many demands on his body. Athletes are the first to suffer from nutrient deficiencies, says Elaine Gott• headed for trouble. And, in this age of mass -manufactured food, it gets harder anti athlete who is not watching his diet is headed for trouble And m this acre of POWDERED *gig diet, saysexpert must give," says Mrs. Gottschall. "The cereal advertised on television is sawdust stuff. It would be better for you to eat the box than the cereal." So, what can an athlete - or anyone for that matter - do to make sure he is eating properly? Go back to the Garden of Eden and see what food was put on this earth to keep humans healthy, says Mrs. Gottschall. Natural food such as fresh fruits, vegetables and meats and whole grains will give you a wholesome and healthy diet. . If you find it impossible to give up those chips and pop, use a vitamin supplement which will provide the nutrients lacking in , your diet. Athletes in particular need a lot of protein. Instead of eating "empty foods" such as macaroni or spaghetti to build up reserves of starch needed to give you added onerov eat white beans- Baked potatoes TIDE DETERGENT 699 12 LITRE BOX REG. 10.29 are also better for you than french fries. In general, natural food is always more nutritious than manufactured food. When seeking advice on nutrition, you must be cautious, Mrs. Gottschall says. Experts who work for food manufacturing companies may give a distorted view of nutrition: Whether an athlete chooses to improve his diet with natural foods or opts for vitamin supplements, it's important to for him to be aware of his diet. And, athletic organizations have a responsibility to promote awareness about diet along with their promotion of physical fitness; says Mrs. Gottschall.
