In Episode #78, my guest is Registered Dietician Mia. Mia is from Dallas, Texas and attended Texas Tech University, where she was the R.D. for many of the athletic programs. Mia explains the significant differences between a R.D. and a Nutritionist. She explains why nutrition and hydration is so vital to peak athletic performance. We discuss the different nutrition and hydration needs between age groups as well as one sport to another. Mia what the healthy options are at convenience stores when parents and athletes are pressed for time. We talk about the nutrition and hydration needs are between in-season and off-season. In depth, Mia explains when it's a good time to use hydration replenishing drinks and if it's better to consume electrolyte drinks or just water. Finally, Mia offers her advice to athletes, coaches and parents when it comes to proper nutrition and hydration. In the end, I offer my 'Three Takeaways.'
Mia offers great information and advice in the very informative interview. I suggest athletes and parents of athletes listen to this episode.
