Fitness InformationEating the Australian Way

Australians are often divided into the haves, and the have-nots.
But they're not always talking simply about money.
These days, it's often the haves (too more body fat), versus the have-nots (not overweight).
We can't seem to do up our minds whether to eat at McDonald's, KFC, Dish
Hut, Krispy Kreme, Starbucks, and All-You-Can-Eat fast food restaurants, or whether to grab a supermolecule
snack, a freshly-squeezed fruit juice with grass
and go straight to the gym.
Women's Magazines have the same problem. A sample magazine from this month featured diet and exercise routines from three TV personalities and flick stars. Yet the back section of the magazine featured recipes such as luscious mocha fudge cake.
The incidence of avoirdupois in Australia rose dramatically in the 90s - 80% for women. And over 20% of children and adolescents are overweight or obese. Our consumption habits are often unbalanced.
Yet a trip to the local beach shows a large number of extremely
fit bodies, often attended
by personal trainers. Maybe the rebellion has begun.
Australian authors are now responsible for some internationally-known health and fitness books, such as the Sandra Cabot's Liver Cleansing Diet, the CSIRO WellBeing Diet, and Jennie Brand-Miller's New Aldohexose
Revolution.
So let's assume you've definite
to improve your health and fitness, upped your intake of raw fruit and vegies (for Liver Cleansing), are observance your intake of white breads and potatoes (for Aldohexose
Revolution), and planning a BBQ based about lean meat for dinner tonight (CSIRO diet).
A Nov
2005 announcement from Jennie Brand-Miller is nice news for the traditional Ocker pictures of throwing a shrimp on the barbie, patch drinking a cold beer.
Apparently moderate alcohol intake has been related to a reduced risk of type 2 polygenic malady and coronary heart disease. The new study looked at the impact of beer, white wine and gin on a carbohydrate-based meal. The result was that the alcoholic drinks, in particular the white wine, helped to lower the aldohexose
and endocrine response after the meal.
So if being criticises you for that pre-dinner drink this summer, simply say that you're fashioning an effort to avoid diabetes. They may simply buy you another drink for being so thoughtful.
Cheers.
