16 Years on ExPo. Whoa!!
Wondering if there are any people on here who know their nutrition and/or sports nutrition very well. Carrie and I are both fairly healthy but Carrie tore her ACL last night on a mountain bike and the doctor was going over photos of different people's nutrition and how their knees looked on the inside related to diet and health (yikes) and talked a lot about diet in relation to athletics and health both in terms of injury and recovery. The doctor is the guy who did Tiger Woods knee and is local and does a hell of a job luckily... He showed us photos of a 20 year old frat boy's knee (from the inside during surgury) who had a high BMI (body mass index) aka "a little fat" and drank too much and ate pizza and booze and chicken wings.. ...and was genuinely scary.
I do the majority of cooking these days and would like to get good insight on nutrition or where to start.. We are both in our late 20's but between all the weddings and a good portion of our friends who are all great but together we sometimes drink too much and eat poorly, though its a lot of fun, we probably don't have decent health related to diet. Also both of our BMIs are a little high, about 10-15 lbs over. Not fat but a little extra fat.. So I'd like to get a good idea on where to start...
Another thing though is that we are both fairly active, we ski and bike a lot in particular.. So sports nutrition info in particular in terms of joint and muscles and tendon strength, and over all strength and energy. Thanks and any info appreciated..
We also each did a HSCRP blood test which I think will help show our health and healing in relation to diet.. I hope the results aren't so bad that I'm afraid to post them!
