Fast Food an Unhealthy Choice

Fast Food 

Fast food is a mass produced food that is prepared and served quickly to customers. Fast food is very convenient and time friendly. However, as good as it may sound fast food serves unhealthy products with high fat and high sugar.

Fast food is an unhealthy diet and due to high level of sugar it can lead to diabetes as the intense level of sugar puts your metabolism under stress and cause diabetes.

Famous fast food firms are McDonalds and KFC and can be eaten as convenience or in need of quick served food however mass eating these products can cause a risk factor to your health and reduce your daily physical fitness activities.

3 Common Nutrition Mistakes of Runners

3 Common Nutrition Mistakes of Runners:

While most runners already have the basics like pre- and post-run fuel down, there are still some grey areas of confusion that people don't know about. 



#1 Mistake: Eating Too Much Protein

As a whole across the country, we over consume protein. In fact, the current average Australian protein intake is 25-50% greater than the amount recommended by the Dietary Guidelines. When it comes to exercise, it’s incredibly common to think that protein needs increase even more after any type of exercise. While we do need protein after a workout to rebuild muscles, we definitely don’t need as much as many likely think. Unless you’re doing intense endurance or resistance exercise, your protein needs do not increase. Use this general rule of thumb to determine how much protein you need in one day: take your weight in kilograms and multiply that by 0.8. This will help avoid overconsumption of protein.

#2 Mistake: Sports Drinks and Energy Gels All the Time

Sports drinks and energy gels should only be consumed when preparing to run a marathon or half marathon. Anything less than that however, and you might be giving yourself extra and unnecessary calories. Carbs are our body’s preferred source of fuel in exercise. If you’re a runner, this probably isn’t news to you.

Glucose (a type of carbohydrate) is easier to mobilise in the body and to use for energy than fat and protein. With higher intensity exercise of course, the amount of fuel needed from carbs increases. As we start to use these carbs, or our glycogen stores, our perception of exertion increases and we begin to feel exhausted. Only at this stage is it necessary to begin carb loading. 

Typically, this type of refueling is only needed when the activity lasts longer than one hour. For every hour after the first, a good rule of thumb is give yourself about30-60 grams of carbs per hour.






#3 Mistake: Coconut Water is the Perfect Post Run Refuel

Coconut water definitely can be a great hydration option post run. Most unflavored coconut waters are low in calories, low in sugar and contain a good amount of potassium. If you like the taste and really enjoy drinking coconut water, by all means – drink up! However, unless you’re going on a long run you don’t necessarily need that type of hydration. Our fluid and electrolyte balance is well regulated by the body.

During exercise, our bodies start to follow a feedback mechanism: we produce sweat and our thirst mechanism kicks in to maintain the balance. So, drinks like coconut water aren’t always needed. It’s only in endurance exercise that this balance might get compromised – sometimes it’s hard to ingest enough fluid to keep up with losses. In these cases, you can reach for the coconut water to keep properly hydrated.

Touch Football

Touch Football

Touch football is a variation of rugby league however with some minor changes such as the replacement of tackling with touch and the number of players on the field at once. Therefore touch football is not a contact sport however is a limited- contact sport. The positive features touch football brings, as a fitness activity is that it’s easy to set up with minimal equipment required and also plays at rugby at ease without the fear of injury. Unlike rugby touch football only has 6 players on the team with no kicking involved, additionally the ball is handed over to the opposing team if dropped forward or backwards and having contact with the floor. Touch football is intense and tiring with endless sprinting and running resulting in a good fitness exercise whilst being really enjoyable and fun with friends.

Rugby League

Rugby League is an Australian sport played by 2 teams on a rectangular field. In rugby league, points are scored by carrying the ball and touching it to the ground beyond the opposing team's goal line; this is called a try, and is the primary method of scoring.

The opposing team attempts to stop the attacking side scoring points by tackling the player carrying the ball. In addition to tries, points can be scored by kicking goals. After each try, the scoring team gains a free kick to try at goal with a conversion for further points. Kicks at goal may also be awarded for penalties, and field goals can be attempted at any time.

League is an extremely physically demanding sport requires players to run over 10km per game, means that health and fitness levels must be high. In contact sports (mixed martial arts and rugby league), athletes purposely hit or collide with each other or with inanimate objects (including the ground) with great force. Full contact sport involves tackling, fitness is crucial for its players as well as health as players must maintain a healthy weight and physical presence.
