Something different for the summer.
It is about what we do in between that counts.
Its about the stuff in between.
Its about the small gains.
Its about the whole journey.
Its not about how you start.
Its about how you fuel your move.

Does your kid have the shakes?
Protein.
Proteen.
Nutri-teen.
💥💥 Whole food teen 💥💥
Recently seen the increase shakes, bars all aimed at young individuals.
Whole foods have to be the go to for protein. Most young individuals will get enough protein from a balanced diet. Heavy use of protein shakes can strain developing kidneys. Bone growth and miss out on carbohydrates and micronutrients required for overall development.
Whole foods :- 🐟, 🥚, 🐔, 🥩, beans and pulses. They add fibre, healthy fats and vitamins.
Chewing is important as it allows digestive enzymes to extract the maximum amount of nutrients while preventing digestive discomfort like bloating and indigestion.
Saliva reduces acids, supports enamel and strengthens teeth and jawbone.
Whole foods supports bone growth.
Downside requires preparation and planning.
Shakes...
Whey and plant powder.
Lacks micronutrients and sometimes fibre..
Liquid meals don't satisfy hunger and the digestive system not working fully.
Added colouring, sweeteners and fillers.
No prep time required but can be expensive.
Important you seek advice if we are thinking of using shakes regularly with a nutritionist or medical advisor.
It is important we use whole food to create habits that last a long time and the health benefits.
Lets eat with our eyes, not the convenience.

We have created the hurried child syndrome that is being displayed in their behaviour.
Young individuals by the age of 7yrs can recognise they are different from their peers and by 14 yrs poor mental health can be set.
Understanding youth development is important and why we have child psychology.
Why being a specific youth health and fitness coach is different.
Understanding that growth windows can mirror poor mental health like low self-esteem, fatigue and low mood.
Why we have mental health and autism awareness so we make reasonable adjustments.
There is nothing ACE about the outcomes of Adverse Childhood Trauma why we have ACT :- Adverse Childhood Trauma.
Nutrition plays an important role in youth development, brain function and emotions. Why we look at whole food to support young individuals.
Working with feelings is important to understand the young individuals vision and beliefs.
I have a feeling. I am getting stronger.

Tomatoes are a great way to support hydration in this hot weather.
Don't just go read 🥵 , eat red Toms..💦💦💦💧High water content and replaces minerals and vitamins that are lost in the hot weather.
Tomatoes are finally starting to pay rent 👌😂
Well today I had to train my young individuals like pros.
Most sports science is based on male development so we coach young individuals as adults.
But today I gave in and followed that path, I can only apologise.
Unless you fuel right, you won't move right. So it was hot this morning so I was prepared...
❌ No not an energy drink.
❌ No not protein bars.
❌ No not creatine.
❌ No not supplements.
So we had extra water and plenty of high water fruits to nibble on during and after the session.
We may have to do the same next week..
