UPMC Sports Nutritionist visits Westinghouse Academy

Men of the House

 

Jeff Lucchino, UPMC sports nutritionist, visited Pittsburgh Westinghouse Academy's Men of the House Program.  Prepared with junk food, snacks, and energy drinks he used these visuals to educate the team on how to stay healthy during the football season and trim down or bulk up during the off season. He focused on tips, food, and beverages to consume in order to manage weight, prevent disease, and become the best athletes that they could be.  Men of the House is a program at Pittsburgh Westinghouse Academy to encourage and infuse life and academic skills, health and wellness skills in the young male athletes.
