Quarterly E-newsletter from the WINForum that Provides Updates
on Nutrient Rich Food Choices for Peak Performance.
Overfed and Undernourished
On February 25, 2009, the Washington Interscholastic Nutrition Forum (www.WINForum.org) hosted coaches and trainers from high schools in the Spokane area to hear a WSU nutrition expert describe the benefits of eating nutrient rich foods. The WINForum meeting was conducted on the WSU-Riverpoint Campus where participants enjoyed a healthy lunch and learned about the value of a well-rounded diet for peak performance.
About 20 coaches, trainers, and nutrition and health educators attended the session where Sara Schofield, R.D. and Coordinator of Sports Nutrition at WSU offered advice on consuming healthy foods including fruits, vegetables, grains, and dairy to provide fuel for the body to perform at its best.
