Eating Activity, Sport and You

The Australian Nutrition Foundation (ANF) has released a new publication that enables active Australians to discover the basics of a "winning diet".

The book appropriately called EASY or Eating, Activity, Sport and You has been developed by the team of Sports Dietitians at the Australian Institute of Sport.

ANF Nutritionist Kristie Birtwistle says the book is targeted at providing information that ensures you will get the best from the activities of your choice.

"It will help ensure you gain maximum benefits over the long run. The ‘winning diet’ is not just for top athletes. Physical activity leads to special nutritional needs especially in terms of fluid and carbohydrate requirements," said Ms Birtwistle.

Highlights of the book include:

• Staying in Shape
• Vitamin and Minerals
• Protein needs and bulking up
• Competition issues and much more.

‘Eating, Activity, Sport & You’  is now available by calling the ANF on (07) 3876 2677 at a cost of AUS$5.00 plus $1.50 postage (Australia wide).
