Top 10 Ways to Fuel Your Body through Healthy Eating

By Figure Skating Performance, Nutrition, Performance for Everyday Life

Christina Modeling Ellie's Double Threat Tank and Little Black CapriI have a post at Ice-Dance.com on the “Top 10 Ways to Fuel Your Body through Healthy Eating.” Here’s the beginning of the post:

Ice dance and dance in general often require the ideal “dancer’s body”. The measures that skaters and dancers take to get this “dancer’s body” can be extreme and dangerous at times. Since ice dancing is a sport, it’s more important than ever to protect your body to help ensure its longevity.

Ice dancing is becoming more technically difficult all the time. This really takes a toll on the body, increasing the risk for injuries. Therefore, fueling your body through healthy nutrition is one of the best things you can do to lengthen your career.

Here are my top 10 ways for you as a dancer to both fuel your body and maintain a “dancer’s body”:

1. Record what you eat. Keeping a food journal is a great way to track what you’re putting into your body as well as tracking your calories. Even if you’re sticking to a lower-calorie diet, if you’re not getting the nutrients your body needs, you will make less progress (and be at a greater risk for injury). It’s important to get nutrients from the healthy foods discussed in “Use Nutrition to Enhance Your Performance.”

2. View food as fuel. As an athlete, viewing food as fuel will help you perform better and to a higher intensity.

    Hey..
    I loved that point of viewing food as fuel.Its true that “EAT TO LIVE” and “DON’T LIVE TO EAT”.
    And as far as dance is concerned it can be really helpful for a healthy lifestyle.

    Well written post…

    I like the point “Record what you eat.” By keeping in mind what we ate and what we should is very helpful for us to know that which thing is good for us and which one is leading to increase our weight so that we can avoid those things.

    Some more points to consider for health
    *Get active and be a healthy weight!
    *Don’t get thirsty
    *Don’t skip breakfast
    *Don’t skip breakfast
    *Cut down on saturated fat and sugar
    *Eat more fish
    *Eat lots of fruit and veg
    *Base your meals on starchy foods

    Thanks for this healthy share 🙂

    Hey
    Motivating share.
    I would suggest weight loss supplements are considered to be magic diet pill for weight loss. One should keep patience and wait for the best results. As there is a great saying “Rome was not built in a day”
    Guys I am hereby recommending you one more supplement known as Meratrim .It is a very effective and beneficial supplement. I used this supplement and I am really happy with the results it gave me. I lost 5 pounds in a week. I take this supplement 30 minutes before my meal and i avoid junk food too and only prefer a protein diet.
    One important thing I want to share is one must take pomegranate vinegar after your meal to see the double effects of the supplement.
    Hope my reviews will help you guys
    Cheers!!!

    Enticing ES TELER

    Es Teler comprises of avocado, square cuts of jackfruit with shaved ice on top of it, and young shredded coconut. It’s tremendously sweet and an ice based Indonesian dessert that you can surely find in any Indonesian food court/stall or pastry corner at any market.

    Hey
    I guess above methods are good but they all are slow process in which one has to wait patiently.
    Guys if someone want to lose weight in less time one should go for surgery.
    I would recommend you Specialty Surgery Center .
    One of the best way to get rid of fat.
    I personally had gone through lap band surgery and i am really happy with my surgery.

    That’s true ice dancing is very technical and needs proper practice, but I would never choose Ice dancing for a fit body lol I used to perform zumba and it really helped me and I lost 4 kg in 2 months 🙂 However thanks for sharing such a nice article.

  21. C. Hamborck says

    Hey! Thanks so much for this article!

    I’m currently writing down what I eat on a daily basis, but It seems a little hard tracking every single thing I eat.

  29. Ram says

    Very thoughtful article. I liked it very much. Those who want to maintain the shape of the body and want to keep healthy must read this article.

  30. Farhan says

    I agree your article that Ice dancing is becoming more technically difficult and the chances of injuries increase day by day so the best idea i think as you have mention is healthy nutrition to increase your body fitness for better long life.

    The consumption of some dietary supplements may also help prevent cancer. A number of essential vitamins, including vitamins A, C and E, act as antioxidants in the body. They work to neutralize chemicals called free radicals that cause oxidative damage within your cells.
