The interest in sports nutrition and fitness over the last 10 years has risen beyond our wildest beliefs. Athletes are breaking new records every year, pushing their bodies past points ever thought possible. Athletes must rely on nutrition to help them reach their goals. Books, magazines, newspapers, and television provide the latest information on nutrition and diets, some credible, some not; and athletes are the perfect target for "the magic formula or pill." As health care professionals, we have the responsibility to help our patients to synthesize new information without overlooking the most important thing: the need to follow a well-balanced diet. Nurse practitioners have an opportunity to educate patients on some of the basic sports nutrition information. Nurse practitioners can help patients in distinguishing reliable nutrition information and assist patients in meeting their health and fitness goals with good nutrition practices. The focus of this article is not to provide education regarding nutrition, but to provide simple, useful tools to educate patients and help them meet their goals.
在过去十年中，人们对运动营养和健身的兴趣增长超出了我们最疯狂的想象。运动员每年都在打破新纪录，将身体推向了前所未有的极限。运动员必须依靠营养来帮助他们实现目标。书籍、杂志、报纸和电视提供了有关营养和饮食的最新信息，有些可信，有些不可信；而运动员则是“神奇配方或药丸”的完美目标人群。作为医疗保健专业人员，我们有责任帮助患者综合新信息，同时不忽视最重要的一点：需要遵循均衡饮食。执业护士有机会就一些基本的运动营养信息对患者进行教育。执业护士可以帮助患者区分可靠的营养信息，并通过良好的营养实践帮助患者实现他们的健康和健身目标。本文的重点不是提供有关营养的教育，而是提供简单、有用的工具来教育患者并帮助他们实现目标。
