Explanation of Foods to eat

An active teenager should eat meals with high carbohydrates before their sporting events or during the weekends where they will most likely be using the most energy. Pasta is has high amounts of carbs and is delicious as well, it is recomended that you dont put tons of red sauce, butter, or salt on your pasta and instead just put a small amount of red sauce only.

For quick bursts of energy right before something that requires a signifigant amount of energy you may want to eat grapes, sliced cantaloupe, raisins, and watermelon. These are also tasty and if you want it all you can put some organic apple juice and a little bit of all of those into a blender and have a delicious smoothie.

Active teenagers need potassium as well because it is important to the human nervous system, muscle function and
fluid balance. Without enough potassium you will feel lots of fatigue and increase your chances of muscle cramps. To avoid this you should have fish and poultry, bananas, and many other low sodium fruits, which does not include apples.
