Avoid those empty calories

Much of the average person’s diet comes from empty calories, ie sugar, fat and refined flours.  “What are empty calories?”… I hear you ask.  These are calories which provide little or no nutritional value.  They tend to be hidden in sugary snacks and processed foods.

By way of example, during the refining process wheat loses approximately 85% of its essential minerals.

So “why do we need all these vitamins and minerals?”…I  am sure that is your next question.  Well they increase and balance our energy levels, improve childhood development, reduce aggression levels, help to prevent some birth defects, boost our immunity, balance moods, reduce the risk of cancers and heart disease and increase IQ levels.

Need I say more?

Saturday’s Boot Camp

The venue for Saturday’s boot camp is Fort Houmet and we will start at 10 am.  Remember to dress for the weather and bring some fluids.

Hope to see you there.

BTW, just a reminder that there will be no boot camp on Saturday 9 May (Liberation Day) so the last one in this series will be on the following Tuesday - venue tba.
