Sports Performance Supplements & Advise

PERFORMANCE NUTRITION

Whether you’re a pro athlete or just starting out, performance nutrition is a vital component of your healthy diet, delivering benefits that everyday foods may not deliver.

Supplementation not only gives you that elusive edge in performance, it may help address deficits in your diet that naturally result from hard training and competition.

Building muscle, losing fat, running faster or jumping higher can all be enhanced with the right nutrition and training. But you’ll need to select foods for their appropriate nutritional value, in the right balance, in the right amount and at the right time.

In practice, you won’t always be able to cover all bases with regular foods, hence the requirement of ready-formulated performance nutrition. In addition, sports supplements are specially formulated to contain more concentrated amounts of the active ingredients you will need to obtain maximum performance benefit.

Everyday Vitamins Minerals & Supplements

What Are Vitamins and Minerals? And why do we need them!

Vitamins and minerals make people’s bodies work properly. Although you get vitamins and minerals from the foods you eat every day, some foods have more vitamins and minerals than others.

Vitamins fall into two categories: fat soluble and water soluble. The fat-soluble vitamins — A, D, E, and K — dissolve in fat and can be stored in your body. The water-soluble vitamins — C and the B-complex vitamins (such as vitamins B6, B12, niacin, riboflavin, and folate) — need to dissolve in water before your body can absorb them. Because of this, your body can’t store these vitamins. Any vitamin C or B that your body doesn’t use as it passes through your system is lost (mostly when you pee). So you need a fresh supply of these vitamins every day.

Whereas vitamins are organic substances (made by plants or animals), minerals are inorganic elements that come from the soil and water and are absorbed by plants or eaten by animals. Your body needs larger amounts of some minerals, such as calcium, to grow and stay healthy. Other minerals like chromium, copper, iodine, iron, selenium, and zinc are called trace minerals because you only need very small amounts of them each day.

Body Composition and Fat Testing (Bio-Impedance)

Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a way to estimate the amount of body weight that is fat and non-fat. Non-fat weight comes from bone, muscle, body water, organs, and other body tissues.

BIA works by measuring how difficult it is for a harmless electrical current to move through the body. The more fat a person has, the harder it is for electricity to flow through the body. The less fat a person has, the easier it is for electricity to flow through the body. By measuring the flow of electricity, one can estimate body fat precent.

There is a much misaligned understanding of the term “weight loss” when it comes to most individuals desire to change their body composition. The disparity lies in losing body fat as opposed to losing body weight, as this is the main objective in a leaner physique, so maintaining or increasing lean muscle mass and decreasing body fat will sometimes leave us with a similar overall weight, especially in the not so obese individuals.

At the other end of the spectrum we have individuals who require body mass gains and just as importantly the importance is to gain lean mass with a balance of healthy fats in their composition.

Our consults are delivered in a professional format, we provide the information you need to hear, not what you want to hear which we back with our experience and positive results achieved.

Corporate Nutrition Wellness Consults

Corporate Wellness is Necessary!

Corporate Wellness is among the most vital investments that a company can make. Businesses that start Corporate Wellness programs aren’t only investing in the physical wellness, safety, and mental health of their employees, but are also taking preventive measures by creating a healthier environment.

By starting a Corporate Wellness program, corporations are able to improve the overall productivity and are able to save money on health care expenses. Often, corporations are concerned about the actual wellness ROI (return on investment) but the fact is that by encouraging healthier lifestyles, corporations are creating healthier employees who will work more diligently and miss fewer days of work due to illness.

It is imperative that companies not only provide Corporate Wellness solutions for their staff members, but that they also maintain ongoing knowledge about safety and wellness techniques. Businesses need to keep up to date on health statistics and stay aware of ways to encourage specific wellness issues like use of tobacco cessation or weight loss.

It’s often helpful for a company to consult with physicians who participate in medical CME so that they’re up to date with how they can assist their employees in maintaining wellness.

Also, when a corporation maintains an on-site fitness club, it’s necessary that the corporation employs person who have received the proper training and certification, which makes up the fitness club management, for assist workers with exercising safely.
