Pro Golfer and Sports Nutrition Expert Tee Up Healthy Snacking Tips for Peak Performance
D.A. Points and Robert Yang Announce Second Annual "California Almonds Pro Golf Getaway" Sweepstakes
(firmenpresse) - MODESTO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 05/09/12 -- Whether you're a professional golfer or a weekend warrior, feeling hungry on the green can weaken your performance, but what you eat before and during the game can help improve your score. To help golfers stay on top of their game, Sports Nutrition Expert Robert Yang and PGA Professional Golfer D.A. Points are teaming up to share their go-to eating plan on game day and ways to build better eating habits on and off the course. In addition, Yang and Points are announcing a chance to win a three-day "California Almonds Pro Golf Getaway" in San Diego, California.
"Beginning with breakfast and from the first tee through the back nine, golfers need to keep their energy up with good nutrition," said Robert Yang, R.D., founder of The Performance Lab. "Going for a healthy snack like almonds makes sense because they're packed with six grams of protein and three grams of fiber in every serving."
"No matter what level of player you are, feeling energized helps you focus and play a better game," said D.A. Points, PGA professional golfer. "Once I started stashing almonds in my golf bag for a quick snack in between holes, I never felt hungry and my game improved."
According to Yang, among his sport-focused nutrition tips, the top five to follow for peak performance are:
When working out or spending time playing your favorite sport, be sure to stay hydrated; drink enough water to equal half your body weight in ounces.
Enjoying a nutritious snack doesn't mean having to compromise on taste or satisfying crunch. Look for foods high in fiber and protein, like almonds.
Keeping your blood sugar stable and your heart in check is essential, so look for snacks that are cholesterol free and low in saturated fat.
Eating a nutritious snack every couple of hours will help keep you satisfied longer between meals, which is perfect during a long day of golfing or working out.
Make your own power trail mix by blending together dried banana chips, dried cranberries, whole natural almonds, and flaxseed for a sweet, chewy and satisfyingly crunchy snack.
