If you have something informative to say about Sports Nutrition, you are very welcome to send me an article and I will post it here. Wayne Heuer, a paraglider pilot and health store owner, has agreed to write a few articles on the importance of sports nutrition and what natural products are available to supplement our active lifestyles. When I snapped my ACL (knee) in the early days and had to undergo an operation, I was told that it was unlikely that I would fly for several months because of the severe bone bruising I sustained in the joint. At the time I was addicted to flying. Being told that I could not fly for so long was like a death sentence. I had the operation which was a great success and went on to a number of alternative health experts, including acupuncture, physio and Wayne, who prescribed supplements for me to take. I was flying six weeks after the operation, albeit braced in metal from thigh to ankle to minimise movement and possible damage to the newly operated on joint. I was nicknamed RoboGirl but I did not care - I was flying!
Several years later, I asked Wayne for more advice on how to reduce feelings of anxiety and again he gave me good advice and supplements which help enormously.
Later I asked him about Nutrition supplements when I thought I might not get enough nutrition from foreign foods. Recognising the importance of nutrition to aid in recovery, daily and competitive participation makes a difference. |
