Deluxe Athlete Healthy Gift Basket

Keep your favorite athlete strong and energized for optimum performance with our Deluxe Athlete Health Basket. A diet rich in grains, beans, potatoes and other high carbohydrate foods will keep fuel levels at the ready for the next workout. To provide heart-healthy fiber while meeting carbohydrate needs, we've included whole grain sources such as oatmeal and whole wheat pasta. Whole grains also contain important B vitamins that muscles need to convert carbohydrates into energy.

Anyone who works out hard knows that sore muscles can often result. Rich vitamin C sources such as broccoli may reduce exercise-induced muscle damage, and also may help muscles recover faster after exercising. The healthful fats in nuts and flaxseed fight inflammation and muscle soreness--they're also good for your heart and may even boost immunity! We've included a nut mix to snack on and an apple cinnamon flavored flax & soy bar. Flax also contains alpha-linolenic acid which may possibly boost endurance! Ginger may act as a natural anti-inflammatory and reduce joint and muscle pain.

Your favorite athlete will love to know that combining honey with a protein supplement may boost post-workout recuperation and favor better blood sugar maintenance after exercise. Honey can also be an effective pre-workout energy source that does not induce hypoglycemia and can improve endurance exercise capacity. They'll love the fruit flavored honey sticks drizzled on oatmeal, in tea, on fruit, or as a sweet treat on its own.

Makes a wonderful gift for someone training for a sporting event--or perhaps someone who just participated!
