CVST's June Nutrition Challenge - Eat the Rainbow!
CVST's June Nutrition Challenge - Eat the Rainbow!
Beginning June 4th, the Nutrition Challenge will be to eat different colored fruits and veggies. The coaches will be asking swimmers how many different colored fruits and veggies they ate prior to coming to practice for the day. The reasoning behind this challenge is that different colored fruits and veggies supply different vitamins and minerals, so the more variety of colors you eat, the more various vitamins and minerals you will consume. The numbers will be documented on the sheets in the office window and the swimmers In each Practice Group with the most different colors total at the end of the month win the Challenge! The goals of these nutrition challenges are to get these young athletes thinking about what they’re putting in their bodies and to develop healthy eating habits for their futures. As always, the challenge is optional, but highly recommended.
