5 Super
Foods for Fast Feet
As athletes, our bodies are under different stresses than
the average person. Feeding your body regularly with super
foods to provide optimal fuel for your workouts and races
is a key to making you a better athlete.
Did you ever wonder why you read your latest Runner’s
World issue and it tells you that oatmeal and yogurt are
the best foods for athletes; then you pick up a copy of Triathlete
Magazine and you find out that you should be eating
meat and fish. If you Google “foods that give you energy,” you’ll
get an entirely different list!
Why?
The answer lies within the Hauser Diet…
In other words, there is no one perfect diet for every athlete.
Each person is as individual on the inside as we are on the
outside. We do not all have the same genetic make-up. Therefore
it only makes sense that we all need to eat differently,
according to our Diet
Types!
Diet Type, you say? Yes, that’s
right! We have developed a unique testing protocol in our office
to determine what type of diet (1 of 5 Hauser
Diets) is best for each individual
person. Your blood will be tested to determine the appropriate
diet for you. This is not about taking a quiz or assessing
your personality or anything like that. It is a scientifically
sound method of determining how you should eat. See www.hauserdiet.com for more information on the testing procedure itself.
