    This document discusses parameters related to supplements and food for athletes. It notes that food has historically been seen as providing fuel and healing properties. A healthy person can be defined simply as one who sees food as fuel. Supplements are meant to supplement the diet, not replace it, and can help correct deficiencies, enhance performance, or aid recovery from disease or effort. However, supplements also carry potential risks like decreased performance, adverse health effects, or containing unwanted substances. The document provides tips for minimizing risks like seeking advice, using third-party tested supplements, and reviewing labels carefully. It also includes a decision-making chart and alternatives to supplements like focusing on a nutrient-dense diet or using natural remedies to support the immune system.
