Diet

  • To have a healthy diet, you must eat a balance of every type of food. 
  • However, someone who plays a lot of sport might eat an overload of carbs before the race/ game/ event to store up energy.
  • Then, during the event they might eat sugary foods and drinks for quick bursts of energy.
