Diet for fitness

I have written a few times about the importance of eating well for athletic preformance.
Nutrient-dense foods that time and again promote good overall health. Coined “superfoods,” such as  Beans (legumes), berries (especially blueberries), broccoli, green tea, nuts (especially walnuts), oranges, pumpkin, salmon. soy, spinach, tomatoes, turkey, whole grains and oats, and yogurt, tend to have fewer calories, higher levels of vitamins and minerals, and many disease-fighting antioxidants.

As the base of a balanced, solid diet, weight loss gimmicks and other supplement offerings can become a thing of the past in your life.

The effect on a certain part of the body of the correct food,  can also affect the health of other body functions and performance, since the whole body is connected.

I found this interview with the man Carl Lewis on eating a vegan diet I know he is long retired and trying to be an actor out in Hollywood but the principles he talks of regarding an eating regime are well proven and relevant today.
