Nutrition strategies highlighted for National Nutrition Month

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- With March being National Nutrition Month, fitness professionals are emphasizing the connection between diet and performance. Life Time Brookfield’s Garrett Van Auken joined us on Wednesday, March 26 to talk about strategies to support health despite busy schedules.

Recommendations include high-protein snacks such as nut butter protein bites, string cheese, beef jerky and Greek yogurt. Experts also suggest hydration, limiting sugar intake and using supplements to address dietary gaps.

Van Auken noted that multivitamins, fish oil and magnesium may support brain function, sleep and recovery. Protein powder was described as a practical supplement to whole foods when time is limited.
