With all our busy schedules and work and school and running around from dance class to yoga and to late-night gigs (this goes without even mentioning normal life errands) – I am sure that eating properly is a challenge for many of us. Food that’s full of nutrients and vitamins is often pricy when eating out, and dragging your own lunches from home is often not practical – I guess this is more of a problem for the urban dancers. (Not eating should not be an option, considering that we need to have energy to do everything we need to do and practice dance with dedication and concentration)

I see this as a serious problem, since nutrients are obviously necessary to our health and can prevent injuries and help us dance for the rest of our lives. So the question that I have is this: what kind of vitamins/ nutritional supplements – if any - do you live by? Do you feel there is something that actually helps you feel better, or helps you focus or … for example – is a good way to protect joints…? This is a very broad question :) but any input is welcome. I am not looking for a quick-fix-magic-pill, but rather for things that can help where our diets fall short. Thoughts?
