FOOD! The fuel for your body.

Everyone knows that they should eat right but few people do these days. Nutrition is about making sensible food choices and should never be about crash diets and popping pills down your neck in order to lose weight fast which in the long run is bad for your health (it can also cause you to gain even more weight!).

Advice includes when to eat and how often as well as making the best food choices to meet the body's activity demands. How long should individuals wait after exercise before eating and what is the optimum opportunity for refueling your body? All of these question can be answered.
