How fit are you? Do you look after yourself? Do you eat healthily or do you eat anything you like? Aston Villa Football Club are encouraging their players and local children to eat healthy food. They know that what you eat is the key to success.

Eating the right thing

A good diet is a basic part of sport these days. Aston Villa manager Martin O'Neill's sport and health experts, have chosen a secret weapon—organic food (food grown without chemicals). Fitness manager Jim Henry eats with his players and said, "I chose organic food for Aston Villa because I've read studies showing that organic food has higher levels of vitamins." He believes that the best way to get vitamins is to eat the best fresh food.

Eating after the match

Head chef at Aston Villa, Lan Edge, feeds players with the best food as soon as they finish an away match. He says, "Food is very important to sports stars and particularly after a game. There is an hour of opportunity when they need to eat to get the best muscle strength."

Teaching healthy eating

Everyone at Aston Villa enjoys organic food at their training ground. But the club is also worried about the unhealthy diet among local children who prefer sweets and unhealthy fast food. As part of their work in the community, Aston Villa has opened up their kitchen and invited children from local schools to their club. Villa midfielder, Nigel ReoCoker, visited the children on the opening day. "The kitchen is helping to develop a healthy way of life," he said.

A final word from the kitchen

Head chef Ian says, "Footballers know how important food is to their profession and nine times out of ten, they go for the healthiest choice." Do you watch your diet? If you do and you keep yourself healthy, you can be a winner!
