Diet for fitness
I have written a few times about the importance of eating well for athletic preformance.
Nutrient-dense foods that time and again promote good overall health. Coined “superfoods,” such as Beans (legumes), berries (especially blueberries), broccoli, green tea, nuts (especially walnuts), oranges, pumpkin, salmon. soy, spinach, tomatoes, turkey, whole grains and oats, and yogurt, tend to have fewer calories, higher levels of vitamins and minerals, and many disease-fighting antioxidants.
As the base of a balanced, solid diet, weight loss gimmicks and other supplement offerings can become a thing of the past in your life.
The effect on a certain part of the body of the correct food, can also affect the health of other body functions and performance, since the whole body is connected.
I found this interview with the man Carl Lewis on eating a vegan diet I know he is long retired and trying to be an actor out in Hollywood but the principles he talks of regarding an eating regime are well proven and relevant today.

By getting Your Nutrition from Real Food you create a Good Habit for Life.

There is a tendency to think popping a multi-vitamin supplement to get nutrients is just as good as what comes from real foods.
during training and competition, the body requires more whole nutrients and quality food sources. Sometimes, the quantity and quality is hard to keep up when you are pushed for time to not go down the road of reaching for a convenient pill or some quick fix it is far better to get vitamins and minerals from natural foods and juices.
Sometimes before, somebody takes up training. Their awareness of how their body reacts to different foods is somewhat blunted and the body perception that you have, is not tuned how our body operates
Our bodies utilize the vitamins and minerals from real foods more efficiently.It can be much easier to select a variety of whole foods to enjoy eating instead of trying to make heads or tails of the entire selection of vitamin and mineral supplements that are available.
A multi-vitamin or a mineral supplement is without a doubt a taste that leaves a lot to be desired
Some supplements can be difficult for our bodies to break down and use, or by taking a singular supplement it is not as efficient and makes it difficult to get the full benefit from the vitamins and minerals they contain.
And when consuming plenty of nutrient-dense food nutrients are going to be easier for the body to process and utilize, and less likely to be wasted.
Many of the supplements available today use fillers and binders to hold them together, plus coatings on the tablets themselves. These are products the body does not need and will not use. Some people find they are allergic to the dyes and fillers used in vitamin pills.
However, the body uses the fiber that binds fruits and vegetables. Often the “skin” of a vegetable, like the potato, is the most nutritious part. In addition, sometimes the vitamin and mineral supplements can upset our stomachs, making taking them even more difficult the next day.
When embarking on any new training or indeed starting an active life after years of inactive and and perhaps unhealthy eating practices there can be a chance that In many cases, combining supplements can counteract their effectiveness and can produce stomach upset.
On the other hand, a variety of fruits and vegetables enhance the flavor of a nutritious meal and their fiber aids digestion.
Raw foods,vegetables nuts and seeds provide us with all protein source that you want if you’re looking to lose weight, eating fresh food is vital to a weight loss plan, which generally goes hand in hand with the needs and desires when starting a training program you cannot expect to achieve a positive athletic outcome, if your body is carrying excess weight.
Also, eating fresh fruits and vegetables help hair, skin and teeth stay attractive and healthy. Fruits and vegetables are the original fast foods.
It’s simple to grab for an orange, apple, banana, grapes, or quickly toss a few vegetables together for a salad to take to work.
If you have equipment like food dryer. It is easy to make up your own nutrition bars to take with you,I know for myself, When mango season

Exercise and depression trial
Depression is the fourth most important cause of disability worldwide — and is expected to become the second most important by 2020.
Statistics suggest that as many as 1 in 3 of us might experience depressive symptoms during our lifetime and women are twice as likely to be affected as men. Depression is a major problem and treating depression a major drain on medical resources.
Now, new studies in the southwest of England are looking into different approaches to the treatment of depression — approaches that may have a significant impact on this debilitating illness.
Bringing together expertise in Psychiatry, Exercise Psychology, Health Economics and Primary Care, a collaboration of the University of Bristol, the University of Exeter and the Peninsula Medical School will conduct one of the largest studies in the world, into the use of exercise as a treatment for depression.
