What are some nutritional myths?

Getting your energy from caffeine and high sugar foods and drinks doesn’t work and leads to blood-sugar swings and crashes, inconsistencies, frustration, exhaustion, poor recovery. Another myth is to use alcohol “aiming fluid” to calm you down. That’s a funny one. I recommend you manage moods and nervousness with small, frequent nutritious meals to maintain consistent blood levels, and control inflammation as well as staying strong and mobile for a well functioning, fit body.

“Pick 3” is a technique we use here at SHIFT TRAINING where you combine fruits/vegetables with proteins and healthy fats for energy, endurance and muscle support. An example of Pick 3 is jerky with nuts and a small banana. If you’re not battling weight or inflammation, then you can choose whole grains or starchy carbs combined proteins and fruits/vegetables. Avoid sugars and processed items. For hydration drink water with a pinch of sea salt every nine holes. Fruits/vegetables are mostly water, contain minerals and anti-oxidants which work well for golfers for hydration and energy.
