Training Health Tip  

Eating Right- There is compelling evidence that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables can lower the risk of heart disease and stroke. Fruits and vegetables contain essential minerals, fiber and vitamins that can help protect you from chronic diseases.
To get a healthy variety of nutrients in your diet, think color! Eat fruits and vegetables of different color to give your body a wide range of valuable nutrients, like fiber, potassium and vitamins A and C.
Keep fruits and vegetables in plain sight in the kitchen - this will encourage more snacking on healthful foods. Explore new ways to incorporate healthy fruits and vegetables in your diet - try a new recipe or modify an old one. Try some new varieties of these healthy foods on a regular basis.
All funds raised from the March Mania Tournament are used to respond to natural disasters, house fires, to educate citizens on everything from CPR to child care, and to get emergency messages to loved ones on military duty. The Red Cross also provides nearly half of the nation's blood supply.
