When young people are involved in competitive athletics, their need for power foods and fluids is higher than usual.<\/p>\n<p>If you have specific concerns about your child, consult a registered dietitian who specializes in sports nutrition. If your child is on a team, talk to the coach and arrange for a registered dietitian to make a presentation to all the players and their parents.<\/p>\n<p>Here are tips to help young athletes get the fuel and fluids they need to succeed:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Power Foods<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Athletes need power foods with lots of nutrients. High-energy carbohydrates from whole grains, fruits, vegetables and dairy foods are especially important. Children need extra energy for their sport\u2019s practices and games, plus normal levels for growth and brainpower at school. Here\u2019s how to provide the carbs they crave:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Serve a Champion\u2019s Breakfast.<\/em>\u00a0Offer whole-grain cereals or serve muffins made with whole grains and fruit, like bananas, blueberries and raisins. Create an instant yogurt parfait with layers of low-fat vanilla yogurt; fresh, frozen or canned fruit; and crunchy whole-grain cereal.<\/li>\n<li><em>Pack Breakfast to Go.<\/em>\u00a0When morning practices or road trips make sit-down breakfasts difficult, pack a bag with bagels, bananas, apples, string cheese, yogurt cups, juice boxes and low-fat milk for eating on the run.<\/li>\n<li><em>Pack a Super-Snack Bag.<\/em>\u00a0Traveling athletes need smart fuel. Fill an insulated bag with high-energy snacks. Use frozen juice boxes, water bottles or reusable gel packs to keep items cold. Help your athlete be prepared for pre- and post-game snack attacks with crackers and cheese, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, trail mix, containers of cut-up fruit and sliced vegetables with dip.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Power Fluids<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Like athletes of any age, children need plenty of refreshing fluids to stay well-hydrated. Fluids are critical to prevent overheating and to remove the wastes produced by active muscles. Being even slightly dehydrated can dramatically affect performance.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Make Sure Supply Keeps Up with Demand.<\/em>\u00a0Children need to drink at least six 8-ounce cups of water per day. Add another 8 ounces for every half hour of strenuous activity. Give kids a personalized water bottle to carry in the car, on the bus, at school and on the field.<\/li>\n<li><em>Choose Beverages Wisely.<\/em>\u00a0For activities lasting less than an hour, water will usually provide optimal hydration. For longer activities or when children don\u2019t drink enough water, diluted 100 percent fruit juice or sports drinks may increase their fluid intake. New research shows low-fat milk, including chocolate milk, may be one of the most effective beverages for muscle recovery after intense activity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>How do you keep your kids hydrated and fueled?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This post was written by Dayle Hayes, MS LD, and originally published on <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.eatright.org\/kids\/article.aspx?id=6442459385\"><em>Eat Right.org<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><em> The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics is a member of the Together Counts<sup>TM<\/sup> program and the Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Active kids need fuel for sports, school and everyday health, as well as normal growth and development.
