For you to succeed in your mountain sport, and to live longer and enjoy life, it’s important to know that the mind and body are deeply connected. The decisions you make each day—your training and recovery as well as what you put in your mouth and the relationship you have with food—significantly affect your cognition and peak athletic performance. How do you prioritize and make good decisions? Become more aware of what you are doing right now. Start a food journal. Ask yourself questions, such as: When do you have your cravings? When do you overeat? Why do you have a hard time preparing foods or eating well? Once you have identified some critical situations that hold you back from eating well, you can begin to optimize your nutrition and experiment with different ways of eating. Decrease the foods that cause inflammation by experimenting with elimination diets, play with strategies to hit your individualized macronutrient percentages, or try out other special diets, and figure out which one works best for you.
