A few kids have actually died from the flu this year here in Colorado one of them 15 years old! Being healthy is one thing I know I often take for granted until I get sick, that is. I've found that it's easier to stay healthy than it is to get healthy again once you're sick, too. With that in mind (and the season just getting underway), here are some quick tips for staying healthy this wrestling season:
Eat well. This means eating plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, the best way to get all the nutrients your body needs to stay healthy.
Avoid sugar! Sugar depresses your immune system. Soda pop is probably the #1 culprit for most people, so do yourself a favor and have a water or fresh juice instead. (Dads and coaches, alcohol also depresses your immune system.)
Supplement with vitamins/minerals. Vitamin C and zinc, in particular, have been shown to strengthen the immune system.
Get enough sleep.

Next you will want to perform the hip snap motion by initiating a fluent and consistent movement of hip and knee flexion and extension.
