1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:01,400 Speaker 1: A bit of a sham. I wasn't able to get 2 00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:03,920 Speaker 1: along to Ashburton College, although it sounds like you still 3 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:07,560 Speaker 1: pulled a fairly decent crowd least standing Dietitian morning. 4 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:10,320 Speaker 2: Yes, good morning. It was wonderful to be the but 5 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,720 Speaker 2: wonderful welcome. The school and their pupils and staff and 6 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,800 Speaker 2: parents turned out too. Is you here and raised funds 7 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,600 Speaker 2: for school sport through the sound of my bop how 8 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 2: to grow an athlete? There was terrific that a lot 9 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 2: of the students that come straight from sports and they're 10 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 2: obviously very keen to learn what to do in order 11 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 2: to stay well and well. 12 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,479 Speaker 1: There's certainly no shortage of students kicking goals from the 13 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,519 Speaker 1: likes of Ashburton College. I mentioned the success of some 14 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,599 Speaker 1: of the rowers from down and twice or the weekend's 15 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 1: just been so did you find a few themes or 16 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,160 Speaker 1: points of interest from the crowd last night in regard 17 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,880 Speaker 1: to there's many parents wanting to grow athletes and there's 18 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,240 Speaker 1: been no end of inspiration on the box of late 19 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: with the likes of the Winter Olympics and Sam Ruth 20 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: that track star. 21 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 2: Isn't it wonderful? Yes? All the main thing we talked 22 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 2: about is some of the risks of athletes, suchially letting 23 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 2: energy and overtraining and under eating is a major problem. 24 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 2: We're trying to encourage people to eat real food and 25 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 2: you know, encourage them to learn how to cook all so, 26 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 2: but learning how to eat real food and more dietary fiber, 27 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 2: has more milk and water, watch what they drink and 28 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 2: also be wary of supplements because these days, you know, 29 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 2: kids are very aware about over process, but they don't 30 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 2: see the buying things over the internets informing supplements as 31 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 2: of real food. Absolutely, it's a big thing because supplements 32 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 2: are often cheaper on the internet's and we've got young 33 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 2: you know, young kids wanting to drink that buying creating 34 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,319 Speaker 2: and proatine pardners is going to help them to muscle. 35 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: Up coming from Is it online influence? 36 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 2: Absolutely absolutely, And unfortunately there's there's there are risks and 37 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 2: the taking supplements that may not have been batch tested, 38 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 2: can contain substances that are banned by the iOS and 39 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 2: sorry the IOC, and they may not know that. So 40 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 2: it's really import wasn't to eat real food if we 41 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 2: can full of fire and all of them see and 42 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,559 Speaker 2: all the new tents that kids need for growth. 43 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 1: Growing up myself and a family of three brothers, I 44 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: can appreciate how we're all once you get to ten years, 45 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: just bottomless pets. I don't know how Mama Mail managed 46 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: to keep up, but she certainly made a concerted effort, 47 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: you know, around meal times of having those prepped and 48 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: you know, being hearty fear. Plenty of protein growing up 49 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: on the farm as well, which is great, But I 50 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: guess a real challenge has got to be there after 51 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 1: school period or or maybe you know, when we get 52 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: a bit snacky snacky late at night and no team 53 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: wants to cook their own food. Nobody, nobody wants to 54 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,399 Speaker 1: have to work too hard for it and make anything. 55 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: So how do you navigate that? Lee? 56 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 2: Well, I think it's really important to understand what to 57 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 2: eat before, during, and after sports. So the time you're 58 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,839 Speaker 2: talking about is when they come home from to look 59 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 2: at what they're eating before they start this this sport, 60 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 2: Like what are they having for afternoon too? What are 61 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 2: they having it for lunch? Making things like rolls and 62 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 2: rats and food that's still and bulky, you know, got 63 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 2: fiber in it for whole grain breads and plenty of 64 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 2: protein in their in their snacks, bringing in after school 65 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 2: things that will plenish them after having done all the running. 66 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 1: Around that requires a bit of preparation of not necessarily. 67 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 2: I mean, they could make a milkshake while they're waiting 68 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,679 Speaker 2: for tea to cook, and you know, things like that. 69 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,239 Speaker 2: Getting into easter bunds are great now they've come in, 70 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 2: haven't they Things like muffins and scones and fruits and things. 71 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: Like that's okay, very good, and this good way. 72 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 2: Of replacing the energy that you've lost through exercise. So 73 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 2: it's that the really importance of recovery food and making 74 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 2: sure that when you've when you've done your exercise, you 75 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 2: recover world. 76 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: Well, actually, that's an interesting point you mentioned that afterwards. 77 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: You know, we tend to think of loading up on 78 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: energy before going heading the field. What what is it 79 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: important to eat after. 80 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 2: Because when you're exercising, you're using up a lot of 81 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 2: carbohydrate from your from the glucose that's floating around your blood. 82 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 2: You start pulling a glucose on your muscles, which is glycogen. 83 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 2: And if you don't replace stack glycogen of having got 84 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 2: high carbohydrates next afterwards, So getting into things like you 85 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 2: know they're saying, well bread rollers and getting into buns 86 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 2: and things like that. If you don't eat those sorts 87 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 2: of food, not regaining the glycogen and your muscles and 88 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 2: protein supportant there too, So the next day when you 89 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 2: go out to perform, you haven't got the same stores 90 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 2: of energy. It's like thinking about your muscles like the 91 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 2: pantry of your body. If you don't restock it the 92 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 2: next day, you haven't got as much to pull on 93 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 2: when you need it. So it's those sorts of things 94 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 2: that's all in my box. So we talked a lot 95 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 2: about some of those things and how the risks of 96 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 2: the young people. It's a lot of interest in protein 97 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,919 Speaker 2: these days, and protein is important for building in a body, 98 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 2: but carbohydrate is what gives the energy to turn protein 99 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 2: into tissue. And that was something I think came across 100 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,479 Speaker 2: last night that hadn't been thought about. 101 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's always painted as the bad guy cabs, I know. 102 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 2: And that's another thing we talked about, how carbs are 103 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 2: in major sorts of vitamins and also far and then 104 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 2: when we talk about pre but pre and probiotics, pre 105 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 2: biotics we hear a lot about these days or pre 106 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 2: biotics come from dietary fiber and interest we need to 107 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 2: get through. So I think carbs carbs are okay. Making 108 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 2: sure you go for the whole grain type of food, 109 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 2: sort of high iron fiber as well, and then you 110 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 2: come out. 111 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: We're lucky enough to produce plenty of protein and carbs 112 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: out of mccensbury, although the latter has been a bit 113 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: difficult this season. But there's a great way to support local. 114 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: So their book of yours, where can we get a 115 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: copy of there? It's a shame. 116 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 2: Absolutely, it's online, it's in a book shop that's also 117 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 2: now being turned into school programs, which is wonderful. Education 118 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 2: is an organization that makes resources for schools and teachers 119 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 2: and they produce a wonderful program called Power Up with 120 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 2: Your Plate and that's directly out of my boox. So 121 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 2: it's wonderful to see the words turned into activities that 122 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 2: kids can access. And Ash College has you know, got 123 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 2: into the education was also they So the book is 124 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 2: also available through Amazon. It's on there's an ebook and 125 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 2: audio book available, so it's exciting to see this information 126 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 2: out there. 127 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: Press it up as a podcast and the kids will 128 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 1: be into it. At no time or real and super quickly. 129 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: What's the one thing we should stop feeding our kids 130 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 1: for the sake of them kicking their goals? 131 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's held to processed foods. We want 132 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 2: to get more real food. If we can stop them 133 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 2: going and looking for supplements or looking for smart ways 134 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,119 Speaker 2: and just start eating more real food, and they forget 135 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 2: about creatine and all of these supplements throughout there. They 136 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 2: don't need them. All they need to eat is you know, 137 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 2: get back into having their meat, having their fish, and 138 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 2: making sure that they eat food that's gone from the 139 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 2: ground and as we said, lots of produce that's available locally. 140 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: All of that Mum and Mel was onto something. After all, 141 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 1: there is food at home and it's the best stuff 142 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 1: for us. Lee standing wonderful to have you in town. 143 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: At Ashburton College last night.
