Nutrition

It is safe to think that for an athlete (amateur or professional), their nutrition regime and training sessions would be the key in determining how good or how successful they would be at their sport.

Let me tell you about my favourite go-to snack. It is one of the lowest calorie, lowest fat and highest fiber nut. Since over a decade it has been a part of my client’s and mine daily food. It’s California pistachios! It really is nutrition in a nutshell. 

Nuts have made a big comeback on the healthy foods list. After suffering a bad rap for many decades, they are back in action as the good news about their health benefits has been coming in regularly lately.

Small, green colour pistachio nuts are also known as the ‘smiling’ or ‘happy’ nut as the split open shell looks like a smiling face & these bright coloured nuts makes everything look happier. Among Iranian & Turkish varieties, California pistachios are the largest in size.

According to the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS), well-planned eating practices help athletes to train hard, stay healthy and injury-free, and maximise their performance.

Between the hours staring at a computer screen and the nearly constant temptation of treats in the breakroom, most offices are not known for fitness and health.
