On the topic of âmaking weightâ, whether that applies to an endurance sport like rowing and jockeying, or to a fighting sport like boxing and wrestling, many coaches have set strategies to meet weigh-in requirements, often to the detriment of the athleteâs health and performance. However, there are more personalised, health-focused approaches that honour the overall context of the athleteâs life, and which leave them in a better condition post-competition.
Looking beyond the pre-competition dieting process, Paul Ehren will be asking you to consider the manipulation of body composition over a variety of sports, how the nature of the sport will dictate the approach, why we need to look further than nutrition advice, and to our responsibilities to our clients year round.
Paul will also consider current research recommendations and how these may differ from the actual reality of working with athletes.
This is not intended to be a straightforward âhow toâ guide to helping an athlete lose weight, but rather a broader look at body composition across a range of sporting modalities and how practice can contradict theory.
We hope that you can join us. 4 May 6PM UK time.
To your vibrant mindbody health,

https://sustainablefoodtrust.org/articles/where-do-we-go-from-here/ A very interesting article and worth reading. Quality of food is paramount, it influences our daily energy! Good quality produce (fruit, plants and animals) creates cells that sing and dance inside us. We become the vibrant beings we are born to be. Chemicals (agrochemicals) saturating our natural produce and hormones and growth promoters pumped into our meats tires our liver and detox pathways making us tired and feeling older than we should. It even influences the air we breathe and the water we drink. Being informed and educated is so important, thats how you empower yourself to great health!

FLU FIGHTERS â HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM THE INSIDE, WITH PATRICK HOLFORD & IAN CRAIG | 24 JULY, 1PM UK TIME (2PM SA TIME)
We are amidst a time of fear and uncertainly with regard to our own immunity, with an already compromised health environment around us, so internationally renowned nutritionist and award-winning author Patrick Holford would like to remind us that âit has never been more important to support your immune systemâ.
Patrick Holfordâs new book, Flu Fighters: how to win the cold war by boosting your natural immunity with non-toxic nutrients, offers a comprehensive guide to supporting the immune system with nutrition, along with a collection of delicious immune-supporting recipes using simple ingredients.
Join us in this free webinar as we delve into Patrickâs new book and discuss why some people get away with the flu, and viruses like COVID-19, while others get really sick and even die. Youâll also learn valuable strategies through diet and nutrients that will help protect yourself from the inside by supporting a healthy immune system.

This blog post by a friend and colleague of mine, Claudius van Wyk, explores the missing links in our current immune thinking wrt the COVID-19 virus. Ideally we should be spending our time educating people on psychosocial factors (and of course good nutrition) rather than chasing the vaccine prize - less profitable, but much more profound in its empowering effect on international health.

Since we're in an phase of 'fear before facts' with regard to the coronavirus COVID-19 right now, I thought I would put together an article for my clients, which gives a common sense approach to looking at this virus. Yes, we need to focus on strategies to slow down infection rate, but we also need to be looking at how to support our own immunity, and to very rapidly bring down our fear levels.

I've just read through this article on vegetarian and veganism on the Nutrition in Focus site (the Clinical Education site from the Nutri Link guys). It has summarised nicely the nutritional concerns of following a vegetarian, and especially vegan, diet. This article is therefore a really important read in this era of vegan popularity - a vegan approach is possible for many people, but they really do need to be highly conscious about their choices. The writers of this article also finished off by noting that the Mediterranean 'diet' has shown equally good benefits for cardiovascular health as vegetarian and vegan approaches, so if your focus is more about health than animal ethics, this is an important point to take.
Is a Vegan Diet Healthy? Thereâs no doubt that vegan diets are increasing in popularity.[1] Such diets, which exclude all animal products including meat, fish, eggs, dairy, and even honey, are often followed for health reasons as well as ethical, religious, and environmental concerns.[2],[3]

Having spend a lot of time in rural Greece and seen first hand what the Mediterranean approach is all about and why it is ultimately good for us and our planet, I was pleased to read this article by Food Tank.
