Living a healthy life can determine if an athlete is successful, or is he/she fails. There are many good foods, but there are also many bad foods as well. The problem with these unhealthy foods are that they taste a lot better than most healthy foods. This is bad because if someone is craving food, they are likely to the foods that taste better.
So what foods are bad? Well, there are many different types of bad foods, but one of them are desserts. Desserts in general are very unhealthy. Cake, doughnuts, cookies: they all taste great, but they are very bad for anyone. This is because it contains a lot of fat, and sugar as well.
Sugars are an important thing to watch for in foods. This is because if sugars that are obtained by eating food/drinking sodas, these sugars can turn to fat, if not burned off by excercise. Fast foods are also very bad for an athlete's body. Fast foods, like Mcdonalds and Burger King, make foods that are very artificial. These foods are not only extremely fattening, but have very little nutrients.
These foods are bad for an athlete because they can make him/her fatter, which would mean that he/she would be weaker, therefore less likely to perform at peak performance. If an athlete want to get a step ahead of the competition, he must resist the temptation of the good tasting unhealthy foods and eat the healthy foods that will help them achieve top performance.
