 Officials encourage sailors to build resilience by developing healthy eating habits. It's amazing how just small changes can have a significant impact. I've worked with many sailors who have just changed one simple thing within their diet and have seen significant changes in their mood, their energy levels and overall well-being. Wallinger says foods with added sugar, salt and fat may not provide enough nourishment and leave sailors wanting more. When you look at a balanced diet, you want to make sure that most of your calories are accompanied by vitamins and minerals. So empty calories are going to provide fuel, but they're not going to support your overall well-being. For more information from Navy Nutrition, visit www.npc.navy.mil.
