How do I get enough energy to be physically active? Did you know that it is important to energize yourself by eating well before playing sports, or going for a run? Carbohydrates are the most important type of nutrient that kids need for energy before a game. You can get these by eating fruits, vegetables grains such as pasta, spaghetti, or breads. Avoid food containing high levels of sugar before a game, such as candy bars or pop. It is good to eat a meal with lots of energy and carbohydrates 2-3 hours before being active. This gives the food time to digest and prevents stomach cramps.
