Nutritional Readiness
“The Army’s comprehensive performance nutrition program concept and framework encompasses three components—proactive, active, and reactive.”
Proactive
Proactive
The proactive component, or foundational nutrition, entails chronic disease prevention and immune system enhancement.
Active
Active
The active component, or operational (occupational and environmental task-specific performance) nutrition, focuses on event fueling and post event recovery and arduous environment preparedness.
Reactive
Reactive
The reactive component, or therapeutic nutrition, centers on specific nutritional interventions to treat (as opposed to prevent) an illness, injury, or condition.
