The Insider’s Guide to What a Pro Athlete Eats
At Little Bellas, we recognize food as a source of fuel. In fact, we teach kids to try to eat the rainbow. No we aren't talking gummy snacks and popsicles. We mean fruit and vegetables. Red fruits and veggies help keep your heart strong. Orange fruits and veggies help keep your eyes healthy. Yellow fruits and veggies help keep you from getting sick. Green fruits and veggies help make your bones and teeth strong, and blue and purple fruits and veggies help your memory.
