The Importance Of Nutrition For Athletes
You may have heard the expression, "you are what you eat." The proverbial saying ultimately means to be fit and healthy, you need to eat quality food sources. Many of us would agree, and we see this expression play out in our own lives based on our diet. When we eat sugar, processed carbs, and other foods that hold our body back from operating smoothly, we can feel sluggish, heavy, and just plain unmotivated. In our daily lives, this can indeed cause unnecessary obstacles in our day, but for some "jobs," inadequate nutrition cannot be tolerated. Athletes fall under this category. When your body's performance is your job and your life, it is vital to fuel your body using foods that help it thrive.
Over our twenty-year history, we have served athletes and sports teams at all levels looking for advantages through nutrition. This is not hard to believe when you take a deep dive into the relationship between nutrition and performance. These athletes are searching for foods that will fuel and sustain them for activity and aid in recovery. Using quality protein, well-thought-out carbs, and healthy fats are just the combination to help achieve this goal. Protein is essential for any diet, but when muscles are used at such levels as elite athletes, the quality of protein is all the more critical. This is why so many elite-level athletes choose to source Grass-fed, Pasture-Raised, and Wild-Caught protein sources. Grass-Fed Beef has 2-4 times more omega-3 fatty acids and Conjugated Linoleic Acid(CLA) than conventional grain-fed beef. Wild-Caught Seafood also features necessary Omega-3 fatty acids, and these fatty acids are an athlete's friend for reducing inflammation and helping the body recover. Poultry is a fan-favorite for many people, athletes included. By sourcing Pasture-raised Poultry, these athletes can be sure they are receiving clean protein without added hormones, antibiotics, or GMOs. Following the saying "you are what you eat", if an athlete utilizes this whole-food, clean diet, they give their bodies the best chance to achieve the highest performance.

Category Sale | Save 15% On Spring Sports Favorites
Where there are sports, there is food! Even looking at the history of sports, there is always a food element that follows. This rings true whether the sport is enjoyed in person or on television. When one thinks of their favorite team's sports venue, we bet they also think of what meal they will get in attendance. Some sporting venues even have specific food they are known for! When sports are enjoyed by watching at home, food is even more at the center of the event. People often each make a dish to bring to a watch party. A few classics of both sports venues and home-watching experiences include burgers, franks, and chicken wings! Since sports and food are such a winning combo, items in the Spring Sports category are on sale this week! With March Madness, MLB Opening Day, and the NBA in session, we know you will enjoy our roundup of sporting food favorites.
