Fresh fruits and vegetables
As a part of his move to have healthier alternatives, Michael Phelps included lots of fresh fruits and vegetables in his diet during the 2016 Rio Olympics.
Nutrients: Leafy greens are a rich source of vitamins A and E, while citrus fruits are loaded with vitamin C. Having a blend of contrasting fruits and vegetables is key for meeting all the requirements of the body.
Benefits: Fruits and vegetables are a rich source of vitamins and minerals that reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases and high blood pressure. Some of them even go a long way in preventing cancer. Not only being low in calories, they are a very rich source of dietary fibre, which is great for digestion.
Additionally, the American never forgets to include a cup of coffee in his diet.
