Who out there deserves the title Everyday Athlete? We think you do! From running around with the kids and keeping the house in tip-top shape to working your way up the career ladder and getting in your daily exercise, you do it all. Just like an athlete, you need the proper fuel to ensure a strong finish at days end.
The Wheat Foods Council found that nearly 70% of moms across America believe their busy lifestyles make them athletes.
Moms compared themselves to:
23% - Long Distance Runner (continuously on the go all day long) 20% - Golfer (move at a leisurely pace, but remain active) 18% - Sprinter (get a lot done in a small amount of time) 8% - Gymnast (nimble and adept, ready to perform at any moment)
You need energy to get through your daily laundry list of to-dos. Since food is the body’s fuel, it’s important that you choose foods that benefit your health and stamina. Both whole and enriched grains are an excellent fuel option.
Mom, the Everyday Athlete offers facts about grains and explains how they can improve your health during different life stages. A customized, sample dietary plan and grocery list will help you to more easily incorporate grains into your diet.
