Easter is a 3 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:10,399 Speaker 1: really special time, especially in the last couple of years 4 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: when we've been isolated from friends and family throughout the 5 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 1: holiday period. So in today's episode of The Nutrition Couch, 6 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 1: we discuss how you can enjoy the Easter celebrations while 7 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,440 Speaker 1: still keeping your diet and exercise on track. Hi, I'm 8 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 1: Susie Burrow and I'm Lee and Wood and as two 9 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 1: of us, Jay is leading dieticians who specialize in evidence 10 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: based nutrition. We bring you The Nutrition Couch, a bi 11 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,240 Speaker 1: weekly chat on everything that is new in the world 12 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: of food, diets. 13 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,880 Speaker 2: And nutrition, as well as all things Easter. 14 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: Today, we're going to talk about one of the many 15 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,240 Speaker 1: loaded drinks out there that have more calories than a 16 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 1: hamburg And our listener question is a common one. 17 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 2: How much water do we really need to drink each day? 18 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 1: But first of all, the yan it is happy Easter, 19 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 1: of course, Easter morning, and it is MEA's first Easter. 20 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 2: What are you guys up to to celebrate this special time? 21 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so special. This is our first real you know, selllebration. 22 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 3: We just missed Christmas by two days. She was born 23 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 3: two days after Christmas, so this is the first little 24 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 3: sort of a big celebration, I guess. So for Easter, 25 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,039 Speaker 3: we generally just do a lot with family. So we're 26 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 3: going up the coast to visit David's dad, David's family, 27 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 3: and we'll spend some time at the beach with them, 28 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 3: which is lovely. Then we'll come back down and we'll 29 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 3: do small things with his family, and we'll see my 30 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 3: family as well for sort of Easter Sunday, and we'll 31 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 3: have a lovely a lovely lunch together, I think, or 32 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 3: maybe a dinner. So I'm really excited. And really what 33 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 3: I've said for my family is obviously MEAs she just 34 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 3: has milk at the moment, she's just breastperd so she 35 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 3: can't eat chocolate. She hasn't started sellas yet, so I've 36 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 3: sort of said to my family, you know, Mom's and 37 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 3: my mum in law really like to buy, you know, 38 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 3: the little kids in their family some small gifts. So 39 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 3: I've just said, you know, if you wouldn't mind, obviously 40 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 3: she can't have chocolate, but maybe I know my mum 41 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 3: and my sister are getting her like a little book 42 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,639 Speaker 3: to add to her book collection. And I think David's 43 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 3: mum's getting her some beautiful little pajamas. So I think 44 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 3: that's a wonderful way we don't always have to gift, 45 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 3: you know, chocolate as well. I think there's so much 46 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 3: around it east of time, they just don't need more 47 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 3: of that, Particularly for the little kids that you know, 48 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 3: either aren't eating or just sort of starting on the solos, 49 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 3: or they're really quite small, they shouldn't be having much 50 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 3: at all. I guess for the bigger ones it is 51 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 3: a thing. You know, you might do the Easter hunt 52 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 3: with the family, but I've sort of really said for 53 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 3: my family and same with like my little nieces and 54 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 3: my nephews, I'm not going to be buying chocolate for them. 55 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 3: I'm going to be buying little things like maybe some 56 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 3: clothing or some books and make it more about the 57 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 3: celebration of the day versus all about the chocolate and 58 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 3: the Easter eggs. 59 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: I agree, I think there's a place for the chocolate, absolutely, 60 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: but I am like you. I tend to opt for 61 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: the present with the kids. I like books or pajamas 62 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: or I actually got some Lego this year, just to 63 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: mix it up. But the other little trick I find 64 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: with my kids is they actually don't pay a lot 65 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: of attention to the volume of chocolate after the initial 66 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 1: when they first got it. 67 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:41,639 Speaker 2: So what I do is I let. 68 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: Them have someone on the day and then I kind 69 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: of put it away because then they kind of forget 70 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: about it rather than keeping the focus on it. 71 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 2: But what do you like? What's your favorite Easter egg? 72 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 3: So I've got a little hot tip for our listeners 73 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 3: at home. So Lyn's one of my favorite types of chocolate. 74 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:54,119 Speaker 2: I just love. 75 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 3: I think your are the level you don't love limp right, 76 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 3: like I love. It's like smooth and it's cream and 77 00:02:58,200 --> 00:02:59,679 Speaker 3: it kind of melts in your mouth. And I was 78 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 3: at and we always sort of chat about how we 79 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,639 Speaker 3: should do more. I guess Audi segments on the Pott 80 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 3: Susie because it's really affordable for a lot of families 81 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 3: and I don't really shop there, but I have been 82 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 3: lately just to sort of scope out what sort of 83 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 3: products we can introduce on the Nutrition Couch, and I 84 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 3: found these Audi Easter eggs Susy and I don't have 85 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 3: a picture in front of me, but they're the I 86 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 3: think it's like monts Roth or something the brand they 87 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 3: do the blocks of chocolate, and they actually came out 88 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 3: with some Easter eggs. They're super affordable, Susie. I think 89 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 3: they were like maybe two or three dollars for the packet, 90 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 3: and they're small Easter eggs with the portion size is 91 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 3: perfect and I love the hazel nut once. They do 92 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 3: a milk chocolate variety of them and also a dark 93 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 3: chocolate variety of them. I think I'll put them up 94 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 3: on our Instagram to show our listeners. But I'm obsessed. 95 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 3: These are my favorite types of Easter eggs. I'm not 96 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 3: a big sort of Easter chocolate person. I much rather 97 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 3: would rather stick to sort of my squares of lint 98 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 3: that's really all tobler Ro and I really really enjoy 99 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 3: as well. It's one of my favorite types of chocolate. 100 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 3: But these Easter eggs that I have picked up at Audi, 101 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 3: they're affordable, there are small portion size, so it's just 102 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 3: a perfect to be just one a little bit of 103 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 3: a taste or you know, the pleasure of one sort 104 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 3: of Easter egg. They're not a huge portion of them, 105 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 3: and I love the nuttiness from the hazel nut flavor 106 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 3: as well, so that's my go to this Easter. I 107 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 3: picked up a packet a couple of weeks ago and 108 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 3: I've absolutely gone more, gone back for more since then. 109 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 3: What's your favorite? 110 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 2: Well, I think it. 111 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: Lends itself to what we wanted to chat about, which 112 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: is about really concentrating on the chocolate that you enjoy 113 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: most rather than mindless munching everything. 114 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 2: That crosses your path. 115 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: Because I'm a bit like you, my absolute favorite is 116 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: the ferrerorashare hazel up praleine type eggs. I've got a 117 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: little one, and I love like the bunny. So often 118 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,359 Speaker 1: I'll get given quite a lot, but I'll tend to 119 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: put that in the cupboard and sometimes I'll melt it 120 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 1: down later or use it in baking. But I'll always 121 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: buy myself that little Ferrero to share bunny. I love that, 122 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 1: and I'll have that as my sort of Easter treat 123 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: to myself. So I think that sort of lends itself, 124 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: as I said, to what I wanted to talk about today, 125 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 1: which is it's not about abstaining from treats. 126 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 2: It's a special time. 127 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: The issue I have with Easter is that it goes 128 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: on for weeks, so people have such a huge amount 129 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 1: of chocolate in the house. They keep it within easy reach. 130 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: They're having showbags in some instances, and the volumes are enormous, 131 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 1: and you just it goes on right through the school holidays. 132 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: So I think it's really important to if you're trying 133 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 1: to control your weight and you really are trying to 134 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: not overdo things and keep those goals in mind. 135 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 2: What I would suggest is. 136 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 1: Really thinking about what type of chocolate you enjoy most, 137 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 1: whether it's a Cabri Bunny, whether it's you know, a 138 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: special packet like you've described your lint buddy, whatever you love, 139 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: have it enjoyed and then move on. So it's not 140 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: the one day off events or the chocolate on Easter 141 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: that causes the problem. It's the fact when it easter 142 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: to goes for multiple weeks and we must stress. For kids, 143 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: it's just way too much. You know, they do gain 144 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: weight and now kids do have often weight issues in 145 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: childhood because of over consumption, because they get used to 146 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: this volume of treats being around all the time. So 147 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: as a parent, feel comfortable to put it away and 148 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: then you can always bring it out at a later 149 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: date or as I said, use it in baking, or 150 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:47,919 Speaker 1: if you're having a dinner party, melt it down and 151 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,720 Speaker 1: have a chocolate fon do with fruit. There's lots of 152 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: ways you can use it really strategically without wasting it. 153 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: But you don't have to eat it just because it's there, 154 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: because I think the worst for me Leian is the 155 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: mindless munching where we keep the plate or the bowl 156 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 1: of little leg on the table, and we know from 157 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 1: behavioral research you will eat double the volume of food 158 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: if it's in easy reach or in sight, so you 159 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 1: will just keep eating those eggs, whether you feel like 160 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: them or not, just because they're there. And of course, 161 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 1: what happens with intensely sweet foods and foods that are 162 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: high and fat, it primes the brain to want more 163 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 1: and more, which is why you can get into a 164 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: habit of not only having one Timtam two three in 165 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 1: a packet, because it's that programming effect over time. So 166 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,919 Speaker 1: it's not about not enjoying your Easter treats today and 167 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: over the Easter holiday period. It's about making sure the 168 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,919 Speaker 1: Easter holiday period doesn't go on for weeks at a 169 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: time and you get it out of sight, because out 170 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: of sight out of mind, and that will get you 171 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: back on track with your goals. And the other thing 172 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: I do, actually when I've got quite a lot for 173 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: the boys is in their lunch box, I might put 174 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: one or two little legs, you know when they go 175 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: out to scool over so and they love that and 176 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 1: it's using it strategically, but it means they haven't eaten 177 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: them all at once and had that huge load of 178 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 1: calories and fat just because it's there. 179 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 3: And I love that the boys can still enjoy a 180 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 3: treat and it can still be part of a healthy, 181 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 3: balanced diet. Like we're absolutely not saying on the nutrition 182 00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 3: caps that you can't have chocolate, particularly if you're go 183 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 3: is bad loss. But I think even if your goal 184 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 3: is just to maintain a healthy life style and a 185 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 3: healthy diet, which I think that should be every single 186 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 3: person's goal, right, Susie, that you know it's still about balance. 187 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 3: Just because you might be a healthy weight or just 188 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 3: because your goal might even be weightcane, we still don't 189 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 3: want to put a ton of foods into our body 190 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 3: which aren't necessarily good for us. So I do really 191 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 3: think balance is key and watch the things like like 192 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 3: for me, Susie, I'm not a hot gross bund fan. 193 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 3: And we've had hot gross Bunds in the house for 194 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 3: months now because other people in my household really enjoy them, 195 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 3: but I don't really like It's not something that I'm 196 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 3: really you know, just because it's there in front of me. 197 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 3: I really sort of taught myself if I'm going to 198 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 3: have something that's not necessarily good for me, I want 199 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 3: to make sure that I absolutely enjoy it. So you 200 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 3: really ask yourself those questions. Don't just eat it because 201 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 3: you know, maybe I like to talk to my clients 202 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 3: about things like soul foods. What are things that you 203 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 3: absolutely love and that make your you just make your 204 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 3: soul happy from having them. And I know that David, 205 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 3: for example, loves hot gross bunds, so we've been buying 206 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 3: them for him. But for me, they're not They're not 207 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 3: my thing. I'd much rather some of those little hazel 208 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 3: and not Easter eggs that I was telling you about, 209 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 3: or you know, have a little bit of ice cream 210 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 3: or something like that. Or I'm a big fan of 211 00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 3: my red Rock daily potato chips, where he's not really 212 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 3: you know that as much, you'd much rather havey hot 213 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 3: gross bun So it's really important that You're not just 214 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 3: eating food so that other people in your household love 215 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 3: if you're not particularly attached it or you don't absolutely 216 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 3: love it as well. So really be a little bit 217 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 3: more picky and choosy with your foods. I guess this 218 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 3: Easter time, and remember that there's plenty of room for 219 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 3: balance as well. Just because it's good Friday or Easter 220 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 3: Sunday doesn't mean that we can't sit down to a 221 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 3: really good, nourishing start to breakfast. You know, we don't 222 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 3: have to eat all about Easter eggs all at once 223 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 3: on Christmas Day because all we're going to do is 224 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 3: feel sick by the time it hits nine or ten 225 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 3: o'clock in the morning, and that's not a great way 226 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 3: to feel. So still really aim to find balance within 227 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 3: your meals. Aim to create Particularly in Australia, the weather's 228 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 3: still quite you know, lovely and warm. I guess I'm 229 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:37,839 Speaker 3: up here in Brisbane, so it really depends on where 230 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 3: you are located. But it's still a great time to 231 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 3: have some beautiful fresh seafood and some lovely fresh salads, 232 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 3: and of course we can balance it out with a 233 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 3: little bit of extra chocolate and Easter eggs. But we 234 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 3: don't have to start our day with chocolate and then 235 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 3: pancakes and then have you know, fried fish and chips 236 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 3: for lunch, and then more chocolates, and then ordering pizza 237 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:55,719 Speaker 3: for dinner and more chocolates, because we're just going to 238 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 3: end Easter feeling absolutely awful. So I think a lot 239 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 3: of fresh home cooking, using a lot of beautiful quality ingredients, 240 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 3: fresh herbs and splices and seafoods and salads is really 241 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 3: the way to go. And then balance that with a 242 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 3: sprinkle of little soul foods throughout your day as well. 243 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 3: I think is the best way to nourish your family, 244 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,079 Speaker 3: to feel great within yourself, and to enjoy the holiday 245 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 3: season as well. 246 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 1: And I think for me, the most important message is 247 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 1: the holidays are not a time to skip exercise. It's 248 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: actually an opportune time to move more. You're often not 249 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,559 Speaker 1: at work or at school, you're less rigid with the schedule. 250 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: There is time to move a lot, you know, So 251 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 1: it's a time to ramp up the activity. Get the 252 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: kids out walking cricket bushwalks if the weather's warm. If 253 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,559 Speaker 1: you're up north, you know, enjoy the sunny days. The 254 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: more activity you do, the less focus there is on food, 255 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: and this is an opportune time to keep as active 256 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: as possible. So I have a lot of clients who 257 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: in holiday periods will instantly stop exercising and overeat and 258 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 1: give themselves permission to do so. Whereas if I like 259 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,559 Speaker 1: people to flip it and think, when we've got time 260 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: to ourselves, this is an opportunity to move more and 261 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 1: do more because the time is our own and we 262 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 1: can really enjoy the outdoors. And then, of course and 263 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: your digestions better, you tend to overeat, and like you described, 264 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 1: I would say, if you're having more indulgent holiday meals 265 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: and ceasting with the family, you probably only need a 266 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: couple of meals a day. It might be a more 267 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: indulgent Easter brunch, you definitely won't need lunch or afternoon tea. 268 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: Wait till you're really hungry and then have another meal 269 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: rather than eating on queue because it's lunch or afternoon 270 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 1: tea time. So really listen to your body. And if 271 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: you have had a more indulgent time, and if you 272 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 1: have overdone the Easter eggs, because let's be honest, it 273 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,439 Speaker 1: does happen, just really get back in touch and say 274 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 1: am I really hungry? 275 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 2: What am I looking for? 276 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: Do I need a salad to balance out all of 277 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 1: those sort of heavy calories that I've had from the chocolate, 278 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 1: or some protein and salad for dinner, which is going 279 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 1: to actually fill me and nourish me, as opposed to 280 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: just load up on the sugary treats that have a 281 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 1: never ending that really make you feel well long term. 282 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,079 Speaker 3: And I really like to tip around exercise, Susie. I 283 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 3: think this is really the sort of opportune time to 284 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 3: get our kids away from the screens and outdoors and 285 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 3: actually doing things as a family. So I know a 286 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 3: lot of families love to do an Easter hunt. So 287 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 3: take your kids to the local park or out to 288 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 3: the bushwalking or hiking in the forest, and you know, 289 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 3: scatter if you easter eggs around that and let your kids, 290 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 3: you know, run around outside and burn off some of 291 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 3: that extra energy. The worst thing we can do over 292 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 3: the holiday period is just let them sit in front 293 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 3: of screens. And I know a lot of my friends 294 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 3: with little kids, Susie, have been feeling, I guess a 295 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 3: little bit guilty of the last year or two with COVID. 296 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 3: Their kids have had a lot more screen time than 297 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 3: ideally they would have liked. And of course it was 298 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 3: just a really easy coping mechanism for a lot of 299 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 3: parents who work from home. It was just something that 300 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 3: I guess we needed to do during that, you know, 301 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 3: the lockdown periods, and that's okay. But now that you 302 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 3: know we're out of lockdown and a lot of places 303 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 3: in the country and around the world, allow your kids 304 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 3: to get out, reduce that screen time over the holidays 305 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 3: and get them out and their fresh air. Plan some 306 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 3: fun activities as a family, go for a big bike 307 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 3: or a big hike together as you said, or just 308 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,559 Speaker 3: take them to the park and you know, run laps 309 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 3: around them while they kick a ball around, or do 310 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 3: their Easter egg hunt. Really make this opportunity to get 311 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 3: the whole family involved in exercise and activity. I know 312 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 3: a lot of mums like to use as their me time, 313 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 3: but I feel like the holiday season is a great 314 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 3: way to get the kids out on board and really 315 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 3: get them seeing exercise as a positive thing that the 316 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 3: whole family does as a regular sort of occurrence as 317 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 3: well just as a thing that we do to punish 318 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,559 Speaker 3: ourselves because we ate too much. We do it as 319 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 3: a thing where we're learning to love our bodies and 320 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 3: we exercise because we know it's good for reason, we 321 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,839 Speaker 3: feel great afterwards. Really trying to put that positive spin 322 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 3: on exercise, not the negative association we have to do 323 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 3: it because we ate too much. 324 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 1: And an easy way for families who are not natural movers. 325 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 1: You know, if it doesn't if you haven't been brought 326 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: up in a family that is overly active and it's 327 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,199 Speaker 1: sort of a little bit out of your comfort zone 328 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: to take the kids and do exercise, and you find 329 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: it very stressful, particularly as kids get older and they 330 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: get more verbal and are able to tell you that 331 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: they're not keen to do that. I think you've got 332 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: to sometimes link it to an enjoyable activity. So for example, 333 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: as opposed to saying we're going to go on exercise, 334 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: you know, you might be going to the museum, or 335 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 1: you might be going to the aquarium or the zoo, 336 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: or to the city, whatever the activity is. 337 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 2: But make the activity as part of that. 338 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 1: So take public transports so you're more active, take their 339 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: swimmers so they use the free baths and things that 340 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: are offered in the city center. So incorporate the movement 341 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: into your day and make it an activity as opposed 342 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: to just saying we go to the park, because again, 343 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,319 Speaker 1: if you are not natural movers or this isn't natural 344 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 1: in your family, it will only only mean more stress 345 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: if you're trying to force ten year olds out the 346 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 1: door under the guise of exercise. So I think I 347 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: always try and link it to something positive. You know, 348 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: if I'm taking the boys out and then overly keen, 349 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: I'll say let's go and get a veggie juice or 350 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: let's go and do something, but we walk to get there, 351 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: So it just becomes part of your day to be 352 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 1: a lot more active, as opposed to saying to them 353 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: we're going to exercise, because even at six they would 354 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: say to me, no way. Whereas if I you know, 355 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 1: you've got a link at to something positive. And that's 356 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,959 Speaker 1: for adults truly. AM like, if I've got my clients 357 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 1: who struggle, I say we'll just walk to get something 358 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 1: for dinner, or walk to get the coffee, or just 359 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: start to slowly incorporate it rather than looking at it 360 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: as exercise as a standalone, which can be stressful for 361 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: people if as I said, it hasn't come naturally and 362 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: it's a big behavior shift. 363 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 3: To being absolutely couldn't agree more. And I really like 364 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 3: to say to my clients, go for moving cap shops. 365 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 3: Over these holiday seasons, you know, we're catching up with 366 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 3: a lot of friends and family we perhaps haven't seen 367 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 3: it in a while because of lockdown, because of COVID. 368 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 3: So rather than sitting in a cafe an eating cake 369 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,680 Speaker 3: and coffee, grab the coffee to go and go and 370 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 3: actually go for a walk. It's very rare where you 371 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 3: might say to a friend, Hey, instead of going to 372 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 3: the cafe, can we actually go for a walk. I'm 373 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 3: sure most people would actually jump the opportunity to, you know, 374 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 3: do a twin one, actually have a nice coffee, gets 375 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 3: a movement in and actually catch up, especially getting three 376 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 3: benefits in one. I definitely cant coffee. 377 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 2: It's a betterfit, Zusie. So there's a lot of. 378 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,079 Speaker 3: Real opportunities that we can see and put a lot 379 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 3: of big positive spins on things this holiday season. But 380 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 3: socializing and family events is absolutely an area we can 381 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 3: get a little bit more movement into our day undred 382 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 3: percent wonderful. So our next segment for the week, Susie 383 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 3: is really around this case study. We saw something written 384 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 3: up in the media about drinks that are worse than 385 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 3: a macas hamburger. And I know that we've done drinks 386 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 3: and that the energy density associated with olcohol before, but 387 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 3: I thought this one was more of an important one 388 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 3: to go back over, particularly around this holiday season, because 389 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 3: there are a lot of trendy drinks. I've been jumping 390 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 3: on TikTok lately, Susan, and I've seen what's been trending, 391 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 3: and it's a lot of drinks. You know, a lot 392 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 3: of people are sort of moving away from the standard 393 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 3: cup of coffee or the green juices, and they're really 394 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 3: going towards more of the ic coffees, and you know, 395 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 3: a lot of the you know, the smoothies that boost juices, 396 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 3: and we know, we know veggies are good for us 397 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 3: and fruit's good for us, so a lot of us 398 00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 3: are getting them done in large smoothies or we're having 399 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 3: you know, there's a big trend for the bubble teas 400 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 3: at the moment. I must admit I do I do 401 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 3: particularly like them, but they do sort of pack a 402 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 3: punch in terms of calories. So this particular article was 403 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 3: really talking about the drink that's worse than a McDonald's burger, 404 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 3: and the drink that they were really referencing was a 405 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 3: Long Island iced tea. So I'm sure a lot of 406 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 3: our listeners probably don't even have this drink, but for 407 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 3: anyone at home, if you do, if this is your 408 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 3: total soul food or something that you love, it does 409 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 3: have a pretty whopping. You know, around four hundred calories 410 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 3: in that drink because of the multiple serves of alcohol 411 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 3: in it. And it's also made on a base of 412 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 3: Coca Cola, I believe, so there's quite a lot of 413 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 3: sugar in there as well. So not to say that 414 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 3: you can't have it, but I think we need to 415 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 3: be mindful about I think just the size of our 416 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 3: drinks these days, Susie as a nation and across the world, 417 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 3: the portion sizes of things are just so much larger 418 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 3: than they ever used to be when we think about 419 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 3: what our grandparents used to consider a couple or a 420 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 3: small serve of a juicer or a drink. So I 421 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 3: just did a quick google online and I had one 422 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 3: of these. One of my clients, suits who loved before 423 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 3: she started working with me, she loved the Dare the 424 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 3: double expresso iced coffee, And when I looked that up, 425 00:15:58,160 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 3: when I broke it down. She was drinking the five 426 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 3: hundredal is just because she didn't like hot coffee. So 427 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 3: she's like, I really want something cold. There's four hundred 428 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 3: and twenty calories and one of those five hundred meal 429 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 3: bottles and forty five grams of sugar. And when I 430 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 3: sort of just discussed those numbers with her, I was like, well, 431 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 3: that bottle should be lasting you the entire weekend. If 432 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 3: it's just the caffeine that we want, we can absolutely 433 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 3: choose a much better choice of that, and we can 434 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 3: make some cold press coffee ourselves at home and just 435 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 3: add a little bit of milk to that without all 436 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 3: of the extra fat and sugar that goes in some 437 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 3: of those large drinks. So I think some of those, 438 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 3: you know, just the portion sizes of those things are important. 439 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 3: And if you sit down at a cafe or restaurant 440 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 3: and you just order a standard ice coffee with four 441 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 3: cream milk, a little bit of cream, and a little 442 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 3: bit of ice cream in their SUSI again, that's three 443 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 3: four hundred calories, So that's sort of the energy density 444 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 3: of a small meal. And then most people would add 445 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 3: to their ice coffee a serve of cake or some 446 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 3: sort of treat or actually lunch as well, or a 447 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 3: bit of a breakfast to go with that. So the 448 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 3: energy density of these things really really adds up. And 449 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 3: just to sort of finalize this, my quick google online 450 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 3: for our drinks, Susie, I looked up the Boost Caribbean 451 00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 3: Green Smoothie. So just from a marketing perspective, I thought 452 00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 3: that one seems pretty good, pretty healthy. Most people will 453 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 3: jump on that one because it's like a green smoothie 454 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 3: that added close to three hundred calories in the original size. 455 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,439 Speaker 3: And the Protein Supreme Smoothie, which again I think a 456 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 3: lot of sort of our gym based girls whose goal 457 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 3: is to gain muscle mass, like I love that goal. 458 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 3: But again, you can't be stuffed into that clever marketing 459 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 3: because that Protein Supreme original smoothie Susie had five hundred 460 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 3: and fifty calories in it, Like that was a meal 461 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 3: for a lot of people. So some really really big, 462 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 3: you know, calorie bombs in some of our favorite drinks 463 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,199 Speaker 3: or drinks that we might think are quite healthy. And 464 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 3: the last one I'm going to reference is our milk 465 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 3: bubble tea, So a large pearl milk bubble tea which 466 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,439 Speaker 3: is sort of the standard milk tea that a lot 467 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 3: of people go for over four hundred calories, and those 468 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 3: large cups of them as well, and you can actually 469 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 3: adjust them down to say no sugar in them, well, 470 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,640 Speaker 3: very little sugar, very little ice. They do have those 471 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 3: sort of recommendations, but I think the standard one how 472 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 3: they make it if you don't have any you know, 473 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 3: changes to that is over four hundred calories. So really 474 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 3: being mindfuls if you're doing that plus a lunch out 475 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,919 Speaker 3: that day, you know, the energy gen zy of that 476 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 3: meal and across the day can really add up. 477 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,919 Speaker 1: Alienn, we talk all day about my disdain for sugar 478 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: in drinks, you know, with the one I hate the most, Slurpy. 479 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 2: They are such David that he absolutely loves you. He 480 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 2: does not. Don't tell me David drinks Slurpy. 481 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 3: He gets a sugar free variety though. 482 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 1: So they are so popular. And I said, when my 483 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: kids were going to the Easter show, I said to 484 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 1: my husband, look, I don't mind them having some treats, 485 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 1: but no sugary drinks. Well, of course he didn't pay 486 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: one slightest bit of attention to me, which is not 487 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 1: in his interest long term regardless, and. 488 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 2: They had a slope. 489 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: Now there is like eighty grams of sugar and some 490 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: slopies in those jumbo sizes. They've got artificial colors in them. 491 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: And even they've got the low sugar ones are better. 492 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,119 Speaker 1: Obviously they've got sweeteners, they've got natural sweetness. Actually just 493 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: had a look sucrolos and arithtratol, but they've still got 494 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: artificial colors in them. So to me, they should be banned. 495 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 1: I think slippy should be banned. There's such a shocking 496 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: drink and so bad for us, and particularly because they're 497 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,679 Speaker 1: marketed to kids and teenagers, and our highest consumers of 498 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,159 Speaker 1: sweetened beverages are teenage boys. And what we know is 499 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: that programs them to seek out, that is, sweet drinks 500 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: in their lives. We've spoken about the big juice bars 501 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 1: in shopping centers. Again they would claim that their fruit juices, well, 502 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,920 Speaker 1: to be honest, they're mainly sugary concentrated fruit juices. The 503 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,920 Speaker 1: ones they sell out most of are the concentrated smoothies, 504 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,400 Speaker 1: which again can have sixty eighty grams of sugar preserve. 505 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: And I think that is it continues to be a 506 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 1: problem in Australia. I know there's been growing ranges of 507 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 1: lower sugar varieties or no sugar sports drinks, but on 508 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: the whole it's still the sugary ones, whether it's bubble tea, 509 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: iced teas, sports drink, the big kind of boost type 510 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: smoothie drinks, slurpees. They're just appalling and it's one thing 511 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: I feel quite strongly about that they have no place 512 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: in the diet of children in particular, So there's no 513 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: in my mind, there's no such thing really as a 514 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 1: good one. They're all just extra sugars. There's sugars we 515 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: know the body doesn't compensate for. We know in rat 516 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,119 Speaker 1: studies that when you feed rats a constant stream of 517 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,679 Speaker 1: sugar over several hours, which is sometimes what happens with 518 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,959 Speaker 1: those drinks when you're sipping on them, that you have 519 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: fat deposits in the life in the short term. So 520 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: it really is a really poor choice for anyone with 521 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,919 Speaker 1: glucose regulation issues or predisposition to type two diabetes and 522 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,679 Speaker 1: liver issues. And yeah, I can't say anything good about them. 523 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 1: I think they're all despicable and I think the less 524 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 1: of them you have in your diet, the better, and 525 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 1: certainly as a mum. I'm not anal with my kid's 526 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: food by any means, but I am quite strict with 527 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 1: sugar drinks and really try and avoid them at all costs. 528 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 3: And I think the worst thing about the slurppies is 529 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 3: like the marketing of them as well, as you said, 530 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 3: they're really marketed towards the teenagers, but the fact that 531 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 3: they do them for a dollar, I mean, it's so 532 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 3: hard for people to go past the fact you can 533 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 3: get a large smoothie for just a dollar at seven eleven. 534 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 1: And the fast food chains too, they're despicable too. They 535 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 1: do it often as well as an upside Yet the 536 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 1: frozen coke or the frozen red fanter or whatever other 537 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: rubbish it is for a dollar appalling, you know, because 538 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: they would argue that they're trying to promote healthier choices, 539 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: but then offering, you know, sixty eighty grams of sugar 540 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 1: for a dollar is hardly health promoting. So I think 541 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: in general, give even there's strong scientific evidence we have 542 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 1: so the role of sugar based drinks in rapid weight 543 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 1: gaining children adolescents that they should, as a public health induative, 544 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: be banned because you know, they say, on one hand, 545 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 1: they're trying to reduce childhood obesity or make these changes 546 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 1: to improve a strains eating habits, and yet they're selling 547 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,400 Speaker 1: these drinks for a dollar. You know what message does 548 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 1: that send to the young generations who don't have a 549 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,360 Speaker 1: lot of money. So if they go to Macas after 550 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,199 Speaker 1: school and they can get a dollar frozen coke, well 551 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,159 Speaker 1: of course you would. So you know, I think that 552 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: the issue is something that we need to talk about 553 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,439 Speaker 1: a whole lot more and be very clear with it. 554 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 1: They have no place in the diet. They're shocking for us. 555 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 1: They have more calories often than a meal, more sugar 556 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 1: than we could should consume in a day. They're heavily 557 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,119 Speaker 1: still marketed to younger people. And just check what your 558 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,360 Speaker 1: kids are buying after school because often they are having 559 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 1: bubble teas or one dollar frozen cokes and you sometimes 560 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 1: not aware of it because once they get into their 561 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: teenagers and they're ducking to the shops after school, well 562 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 1: you know they're teenagers and kids. Of course they're going 563 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: to buy the cheap option that all their friends are having. 564 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: So I think we do need to be quite vocal 565 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: about it. And as I said, I didn't they have any place, 566 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: even the diet ones, as I said, they've got artificial 567 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 1: colors in them, still very very sweet. You know, David 568 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:07,959 Speaker 1: as an adult, for example, can make that informed decision, 569 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: but teenage boys can't. And long term, you know, they're 570 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,479 Speaker 1: then buying soft drinks their whole adult life. So you know, 571 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,880 Speaker 1: they're foods that really need to have a strong limitation 572 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: or cost increases or make it much more challenging to 573 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,439 Speaker 1: buy them, because at the moment they're easily accessible and 574 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: relatively cheap. 575 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 3: And even though that, having said that, like it's not 576 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 3: like David goes and gets it every day every week. 577 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:27,920 Speaker 3: It really is sort of a treat for him. So 578 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 3: I better say that because he does ended up potti SUSI, 579 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 3: so he is very very healthy. 580 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 2: And the bog of his dat is very wholeful based. 581 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,199 Speaker 3: But you know, I do think that the portion slices 582 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 3: for those things and how they market them and the 583 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,400 Speaker 3: cost of them is a poolingd because as you said, 584 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,639 Speaker 3: you know, yes, McDonald's made some healthy choices available in 585 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 3: the menu, but who's going to go and get the 586 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 3: happy meal? You know with the yogurt and the fruit 587 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 3: and the water added. You know, mostly we take your 588 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,119 Speaker 3: kids to macas it's a bit of a treat. The 589 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 3: kids don't want to pick the apple slices and the 590 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 3: water when the you know, the frozen fans is sitting 591 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 3: there for just a dollar. So I do really think 592 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,199 Speaker 3: that the government needs to look at a levy or 593 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 3: attacks on things like soft drinks. I know they have 594 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 3: done that in other countries. It's more and more of 595 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 3: a public health I guess recommendation, but I really do 596 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 3: think it's up to consumers to have these discussions and 597 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 3: start lobbying our local governments to put some changes on 598 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 3: that thing, just for the sake of our kids. You know, 599 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 3: as adults, we can make those choices, we can have 600 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,119 Speaker 3: those informed decisions because we're aware of it, and if 601 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 3: we choose to have it, then that's our choice. But 602 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 3: for children, it is very addictive those amounts of sugars 603 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 3: in colors, particularly if they've got you know, behavior type 604 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,639 Speaker 3: issues as well. The additives in there, the colors and 605 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,119 Speaker 3: the flavors and that sort of thing can be a 606 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 3: real issue from a behavior based perspective as well. 607 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 1: And just we're not talking about fast food chains today, 608 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: but just as it offside, if you go and buy 609 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 1: happy Meal and opt for the healthier choices. So if 610 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 1: you add the salad and for example, opt for the apple, 611 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 1: the cost of the happy Meal doubles. So one of 612 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 1: my little boys, when I do buy happy Meal, and 613 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,679 Speaker 1: I do at times I get them, one gets a 614 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: cheese burger with a sparkling water. The other one likes 615 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 1: nuggets with a salad and a spark and it's double 616 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 1: the price. So it's four dollars ninety or something for 617 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: the plain one, and it cost me ten dollars to 618 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 1: get the other one, the one with the salad. Like, 619 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 1: how is that promoting healthy options? 620 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 3: They really do the absolute bare minimum. 621 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, so let's not let's be honest about what goes on. 622 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 1: It's a lot of token ism, unfortunately. So for families 623 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: on a budget, why would you add five dollars for 624 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:16,680 Speaker 1: the salad to make a healthier choice. 625 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 2: Of course you wouldn't. 626 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 3: You just make the salad at home yourself. 627 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: Even I think twice, I think, Jesus, do I want 628 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 1: to pay four dollars for a salad? 629 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 2: You know McDonald's. So one hundred percent. 630 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:27,640 Speaker 1: A lot of it's token ism, and I think we're 631 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 1: in a position to be able to call it thought 632 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,919 Speaker 1: it is. Yes, all right, well let's get off our 633 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: little high horse now, Aliann. Let's keep it positive and 634 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,919 Speaker 1: talking about liquids actually, and a question that comes up 635 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: quite often. 636 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:41,880 Speaker 2: With clients. 637 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 1: Definitely at the end of all my client consults, I 638 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 1: have this question, and it's asking about, actually, how much 639 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: water do we need per day? Because I guess we've 640 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: often heard six to eight glasses a day. Sometimes we 641 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: hear two. Leaders is a bit of a default. But 642 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 1: what is the actual science say Now, if I was 643 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,880 Speaker 1: going back to scientific recommendations, back to our UNI days, 644 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 1: the reference I've always worked off lean is between thirty 645 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 1: five and forty five million liters per kilo of body weight, 646 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 1: So the average person that will come in anywhere between 647 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 1: a liter up to two liters. But I think what 648 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: we do need to stress is that we also do 649 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 1: get a significant proportion of fluid from the foods that 650 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 1: we're eating. So if you're having high water content foods 651 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 1: things like your vegetables, your fruits, you do pull some 652 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 1: fluid from that. So the recommendation for water is off. 653 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 1: You can sort of use the veggies, et cetera a 654 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 1: little bit in it, or take the water, for example, 655 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,640 Speaker 1: in tea as well to add it up. So when 656 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 1: I'm saying in a practical sense for clients, I will say, 657 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:40,399 Speaker 1: I want you to have at least a liter of 658 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,879 Speaker 1: clear fluid a day at least, and then an extra 659 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 1: save five hundred mil for every hour of high intensity training, 660 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 1: because I think sometimes it's a bit more achievable, particularly 661 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 1: for people who aren't big water drinkers. And I also 662 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 1: will stress that they can use their tea to make 663 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,639 Speaker 1: up those levels. And what do you say, what are 664 00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: your recommendations? 665 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,440 Speaker 3: Well, I was just thinking back to my good days 666 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 3: at the hospital or I used to do a lot 667 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 3: of work and sort of the surgical population that I 668 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 3: see you where a lot of patients were intubated. They 669 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 3: couldn't that you know, they had tubes down them to 670 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:09,880 Speaker 3: feed them and give them fluids. We used to sort 671 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 3: of work on about twenty five to thirty mills per 672 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:13,879 Speaker 3: kilo per day, So if you were sort of an 673 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,400 Speaker 3: eighty kilo adult, you'd roughly need about two point four 674 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 3: leaders of fluid a day. That's obviously taking into account 675 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,439 Speaker 3: and bedbound hospital patients. They're not active, they're not up 676 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,880 Speaker 3: in the sunshine year the air condition is a hospital. Sorry, 677 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 3: hospitals are air conditioned, and these clients aren't really moving about. 678 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 3: These patients are very unwell. So that's the sort of 679 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 3: bare minimum. But what I like to say to my 680 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 3: clients as well, as it's not just water, Like I 681 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,200 Speaker 3: think we get so obsessed about water, we do forget 682 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,360 Speaker 3: about that the fluid and other foods. You know, yes, 683 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 3: it's water, but it's also soup, it's yoga, it's tea, 684 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,360 Speaker 3: it's clustered. It all counts, and I think it really 685 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 3: depends on the person. For healthy adult, I generally like 686 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,719 Speaker 3: to say to my clients, I like to push them 687 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 3: up to a liter and a half of pure water, 688 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 3: and then I say, I'm more than happy if you 689 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 3: make up the rest of that with a bit of sparkling, 690 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 3: you know, an occasional diet lemonade off, that's something they enjoy, 691 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 3: a little bit of kombucha, you know, your tea and 692 00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 3: coffee obviously counts towards that as well. Im myself, so 693 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,159 Speaker 3: I joke a day, but I call myself a camel. 694 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,439 Speaker 3: I could easily have three four liters of water a day, 695 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 3: but I'm six foot tall, I'm breastfeeding and I'm active, 696 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,159 Speaker 3: so you know, my requirements a lot higher than the 697 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,160 Speaker 3: average adult, I would say, but I certainly have always 698 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,439 Speaker 3: been a water drinker. It's something that I've always done regularly. 699 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,120 Speaker 3: If I don't drink a lot of water, actually get 700 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,120 Speaker 3: really bad headaches. So I'm upwards of well over three 701 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 3: lids most days. Sometimes if it's summer and I'm active 702 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 3: and I'm sweating, I'd be probably over four liters as well. 703 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,639 Speaker 3: So I really do like too much water can be 704 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,359 Speaker 3: a bad thing as well, Like if you're pushing up 705 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 3: over those sort of you know, four or five liters 706 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,879 Speaker 3: a day and you're not needing that much, it can actually, 707 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 3: you know, flood your cells and drop some of levels 708 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 3: of electrolytes. So more water is not actually a good thing. 709 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,919 Speaker 3: Too much can be dangerous from a clinical perspective. But 710 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:42,640 Speaker 3: I really do think for most of my clients, I'm 711 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 3: sort of around that a lead a liter and a 712 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 3: half of pure water and then making up the majority 713 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 3: more with your fluid. But I do feel like it's 714 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 3: something that I feel. I feel water. I feel about 715 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 3: this very strongly, the way you feel about soft drinks, Susy. 716 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 3: If my clients say to me. I don't like water. 717 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 3: I don't like the taste of it. I don't care. 718 00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,440 Speaker 3: I just sort of say, stuck it up. You're an adult. 719 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 3: Sometimes we have to do things that we don't like. 720 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,879 Speaker 3: And water for my clients isn't absolute non negotiable. I 721 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,119 Speaker 3: don't care if I don't like it, You're going to 722 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 3: drink it. 723 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:06,159 Speaker 2: You're going to get it in. 724 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,480 Speaker 3: And that's something that I feel strongly about, Susie. With 725 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 3: my veggies and with my water, you cannot live a 726 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 3: healthy diet or have a healthy lifestyle without getting in 727 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 3: water or vegetables. I don't care if you don't like it, 728 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 3: You're going to eat it anyway because it's good for you, 729 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 3: and your taste works will adapt and it will change 730 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,920 Speaker 3: over time, so you will generally start to enjoy I 731 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 3: know that probably sounds a little bit harsh, but water 732 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 3: and vegetables are my absolute non negotiable. It's just like 733 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,639 Speaker 3: you're strict with your sugar drink, Susie. I'm I'm you know, 734 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 3: I would be cane in terms of my water intake 735 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 3: for my clients. I don't want them having liters and 736 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,400 Speaker 3: leaders of you know, just sparkling water and sugar free 737 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 3: soft drinks and that sort of thing each day to 738 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 3: get up their fluid requirements. They need to get in 739 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 3: a good base of actual fluid and water. 740 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 1: There's two things that have sprung to mine since you've 741 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 1: been very clear on your requirements as a client. First, 742 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 1: I would say that I feel the pain of when 743 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 1: I was younger to drink a lot of water too, 744 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 1: but it was when I went to the hospital. So 745 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 1: I go to the toilet all the time. But now 746 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 1: that I'm often really busy with the kids in the car, 747 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 1: I have to be honest, can be really painful. You 748 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 1: have to go to the toilet all the time you 749 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,479 Speaker 1: drink a lot, so I do feel you when you've 750 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 1: got to time it so it's easier. So I find sometimes, 751 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 1: you know, maybe getting through a five hundred six hundred 752 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 1: mil bottle through the day slowly, but then when you 753 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 1: get home from work, having a glass of sparkling water 754 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: and then more at dinner is a way to make 755 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: it up when you're at home and can access the 756 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,239 Speaker 1: bathroom Easia. So I'm feeling all the ladies there who 757 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 1: struggle with going to the toilet too. 758 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 2: Often when you're busy. 759 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 1: But I do say that clients can use soda or 760 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 1: sparkling or plane. I don't put a limit on what 761 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 1: type because I think if you prefer sparkling or soda water, 762 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 1: I don't have an issue with that. Contrary to popular belief, 763 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 1: soda water doesn't have a lot of salts. Got a 764 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 1: little bit, but nothing significant and compared to the benefits 765 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 1: of the fluid. And I will let my clients also 766 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 1: use herbal tea to make up those fluid amounts or 767 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 1: count their tea. But yeah, I sort of work off 768 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 1: one or two bottles of water in some form per 769 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 1: day and then making sure you're getting enough oddly. And 770 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 1: the other thing I'll check is if they're going to 771 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 1: the bathroom regularly, because of course, dehydration really affects the 772 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 1: digestive system. If you'll be constipated and your fluid intake 773 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 1: is low, that can be a real problem or coming 774 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,720 Speaker 1: into the winter months. Of course, hot drinks can be great, 775 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: but also soup, a big a broth type soup or 776 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 1: veggie based soup's a great way to increase your fluid 777 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 1: intake if you're not really feeling thirsty. But I'm with you, 778 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 1: a certain amount of water has to go in so yeah, 779 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 1: I feel you you know, vegetables and water. 780 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 2: Absolutely, it's the basis for good health and well being. 781 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 1: So fair enough that you've got your STREACT guidelines out there, Land, 782 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 1: hats off to you. 783 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 3: And I was going to say that, you know, fluidro 784 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 3: chromas they are so different to every person. I've had 785 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 3: some clients who, you know, they're absolutely okay with eight hundred, 786 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 3: you know, two bottles of water a day, whereas there 787 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 3: other ladies who are very tall, very active, or might 788 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 3: have more of those high appoo conditions where they need 789 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 3: three four plus leaders a day. So if you've got 790 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 3: a condition that requires more water, something like perhaps diarrhea 791 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 3: predominant IBS, or you know you're going multiple times a 792 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 3: day to the bathroom, or you've got a high output stoma, 793 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 3: you're going to need to replace more and actually take 794 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 3: more in or if you have a condition that needs 795 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 3: less fluid, or you need to monitor your fluid very closely, 796 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 3: such as heart failure that you know, a lot of 797 00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 3: clients actually need to monitor their fluid balance to know 798 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 3: dioretics that they actually need to take in order to 799 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 3: keep their you know, heart at at a good level 800 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 3: as well. So I think it's important to consider clinical conditions, 801 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 3: so we can't necessarily say this is a requirement for 802 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 3: all adults. It's definitely a decision that you need to 803 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 3: sort of make with your doctor. But I think drinking 804 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 3: to thirst sometimes isn't the best indication. Sure, if you're thirsty, 805 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 3: you should be drinking. But I think for a lot 806 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 3: of people who are busy, who are you know, mums 807 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 3: or you know, have those busy high pressure jobs, or 808 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 3: you might be sitting at a conference room for hours 809 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 3: on end, it is difficult to get fluid in because 810 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 3: leaving the boardroom for three or four times to use 811 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 3: the bathroom is going to be you know, quite frowned 812 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 3: upon unfortunately. So definitely pick. I like your ideas, Susie. 813 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 3: We can pick different times throughout the day to get 814 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 3: that water in. But I do generally think, you know, 815 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 3: if it's somewher and it's hot and you're active, have more. 816 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 3: If it's winter, it's cool, you have a desk job, 817 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 3: you're not really moving that much, you don't have to 818 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 3: have as much. There's no right or wrong, but herbal 819 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 3: tea is definitely one thing that I do sort of 820 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 3: say to my clients, this is a great thing to 821 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 3: get in because it is really packful of antioxidants. As 822 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 3: long as you're just putting hot water into it. You're 823 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 3: not adding different types of sugars or sweetness or honey 824 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 3: into those herbal teas, and as long as it's pure 825 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 3: tea bag and water, then that's absolutely a good way 826 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 3: to get that in. Bearing your mind that a lot 827 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,280 Speaker 3: of hoble teas can actually have caffeine as well as 828 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 3: if you're send it in and you're having a couple 829 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 3: of cups of green tea six seven eight pm at 830 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 3: night and then having problems sleeping, that's perhaps a reason 831 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 3: why as well. 832 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 1: All Right, Well, on that note, that's the end of 833 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 1: the Nutrition Couch podcast for another week.
