DID YOU KNOW that a new study from Frontiers in Nutrition determined that added sugars are associated with elevated risk of kidney stones? Over 11 years, evaluating subjects 20 years or older who reported a history of kidney stones, the higher percentage of energy intake from added sugars was associated with a significantly higher prevalence of kidney stones.

Nutrition and the Athlete
Steve: Nutrition has so many positive influences. One that does not get as much attention is visual perceptual-cognitive performance (VCP) in young, healthy adult athletes. Professional athletes demonstrate significantly greater perceptual cognitive processing with a much steeper learning curve in a dynamic environment when compared to elite amateur athletes. Similarly, elite amateur athletes perform significantly better and had a significantly steeper learning curve than non-athletes. Healthy male and female athletes aged 18-33 years had their VCP measured over a 15-day period. Those who consumed more dietary zinc, lutein/zeaxanthin, and vitamin B2 (riboflavin) performed significantly better on VCP. Another study from Exercise and Sport Sciences Reviews has shown that increasing amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin from colorful fruits and vegetables could improve the visual range of athletes.
