Sports Nutrition Talk

There will be a talk on Sports Nutrition by Kate Currie. Kate comes highly recommended by local athlete Steve Hebblethwaite and the Keswick based sports therapist Sue Read. Kate's talk will be on Friday 4th January at 7pm. The cost will be £10 on the night. The venue is the Quaker Meeting House, Keswick, opposite Booths.

Overview:

The human body reacts in a very specific way to sport and exercise. Understanding the body’s reaction to exercise is critical in order to provide the correct nutrients at the correct time so that the body achieves optimal performance and recovery - improving in the most efficient way.

In this seminar, I shall explain the changes that occur to the body both during exercise and after exercise. I shall explain what should be eaten when and why. The seminar will also tie in some important healthy eating principles to support the human body in a more fundamental and broad perspective. My approach will be to give every member of the audience an understanding of life from the human body’s “point-of-view”, with reasons why certain nutritional choices are important; principally to get a strong and lean body that performs optimally in activity, but also and so that each person can, at the same time, begin to reduce their risks of developing many age-related diseases and disorders.  

The talk lasts between 1 and 1/12 hours, with time for questions at the end.
