TEEN ATHLETICS

Hello All! Hope you had a great summer! School is getting back into full swing and with it sports for teen boys and girls!

Track and field, football, baseball, soccer, tennis etc.; sports are a vital part of education and growth! As our teens get moving let’s make sure their diet and nutrition lives up to their extra activity!

Whether you are male or female; take care of yourself by getting sufficient sleep, eating well, and supplementing while training hard.

Critical to training are the minerals calcium and magnesium. Calcium helps muscles to contract; while magnesium helps them to relax; especially the all-important heart muscle! These minerals work together to create muscular harmony.

Calcium in its own right is necessary for the strength and repair of bones. It also helps support proper blood clotting and proper bone mineral density. A Calcium deficiency especially in teen girls can increase the possibility of stress fractures.

Two really effective multivitamins we carry at Complete Health Store are from a company called Nature’s Plus. Power Teen for Her and Power Teen for Him are formulas geared to the needs of active, athletic teens. They are chewable and the nutrients in them support male and female needs individually! Excellent choice!

So enjoy the exercise, fun, and camaraderie of sports; but remember take care of yourself; do not skimp on rest, healthy eating and proper nutrition.

Take good care
