FUELLING THE BODY FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE.
Whether you are operating a high-performance sports car built for speed, or a family SUV built for functionality – the fuel you put in the engine will directly impact how that vehicle runs. With a poor fuel choice, the engine risks breaking down, requires more frequent servicing and likely reduces the total life span of the engine. The human body, your vehicle, operates on the same theory. Fuel your body with good nutrition, and you are increasing your engine’s capability to run smoother, and last LONGER.
Optimal nutrition choices are linked with better health for now and into the future as we age. Nutrition deficiencies (i.e. not consuming enough macro and micronutrients) and the over consumption of poor food choices, leads to a number of lifestyle diseases. Poor nutrition has been linked to a multitude of health conditions ranging from the less-severe to the life threatening, including (but certainly not limited to):
- Impaired physical performance (decrements in energy availability – effecting even the most well-conditioned athletes)
- Injury prevalence and prolonged rehabilitation time
- Food intolerances
- Hormonal irregularities (causing irregular menstrual cycles,
- Mental health and mood fluctuations
- Fertility
- Childhood development and growth
- Bone mineral density (bone strength)
- Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
- Cancers
- Overweight/Obesity
…and the list goes on.
