An Intro to Sports Nutrition

Eating Healthy to Start the New Year

Let's face it. It's January, and while your New Year's resolution may already be up in flames, the year is still young! It's no secret that proper nutrition can improve athletic performance, but diets can vary depending on your goals. Regardless of priorities, having an understanding of how macro nutrients work together, nutrient timing, and the importance of hydration and sleep can completely change how you live your life.

The five books below are meant to appeal to a diverse audience, both young and old, and listed with those "foundational elements" in mind. In our experience with this particular category, some of the best books don't always look the sexiest. So, while  natural to judge a book by it's cover, resist the urge and seek out quality content written by the most credible authors and sources.
