SPORTS NUTRITION
Nutritional goals for athletes are often very specific and require careful management.
Nutritional goals for athletes are often very specific and require careful management and monitoring of dietary patterns and food intake to ensure that the food consumption and timing are appropriate. Many athletes also use dietary supplementation to help meet their increased nutritional needs and performance goals.
Meals eaten before and after exercise are the most important in sports nutrition but you should really be careful with everything that you put into your body. Carbohydrates are the main source of energy that powers your exercise regime and protein is required to aid muscle growth and repair. After exercising you need to replace the carbohydrates you have lost and you need to ensure proper muscle recovery by including protein in your post-training meal.
Consulting with a Dietitian or nutritionist to discuss your nutritional intake is extremely important because they offer you guidance, and a meal plan that works with the schedule, time restraints, and increased nutritional needs that you require. For example, it would be good to know if supplementation is necessary or if food consumption is enough to meet your requirements.

WOMEN'S HEALTH & PREGNANCY
Healthy Eating during Pregnancy! Are you pregnant or have you recently given birth?
The right amount of weight gain is also very important while pregnant. With the help of a Dietitian or Nutritionist, you can rest assured that your weight is monitored and advice given accordingly. During the post-natal period, once your baby has already been born, your nutrition is still important to ensure that your weight returns to normal ranges, that you consume adequate nutrients and that your baby still receives the right amount of nutrients.
Some of the specific foods to consider include:
- Grains: a rich source of fiber and energy
- Fruit and vegetables: loaded with vitamins and minerals and antioxidants. Many also contain folic acid and iron.
- Meats, chicken, fish, nuts, legumes: these provide your body with protein, iron and folic acid
- Dairy/dairy alternatives: these provide your body with calcium and vitamin D.
You may also experience taste aversions and unique cravings. Speak to our Dietitians and Nutritionists about this further to ensure that you make good dietary choices.

BABIES & CHILD NUTRITION
Are you unsure about when or what to feed your infant, child or picky eater?
Infancy is defined at the period from birth up to 1 year of age. During this time, it is extremely important for the nutritional intake to be sufficient. It has been shown with various scientific studies that depending on an infant/child’s growth and feeding patterns at a young age, it can influence their risk of various metabolic diseases such as obesity, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. At 6 months of age is when complementary feeding can begin. This may require extra advice and guidance from an expert to ensure your baby is fed appropriately and that there is decreased risk for developing allergies or even picky eating.
Parents should be aware that their child’s feeding style from a young age can closely influence their growth and cognitive development later in life. Specific nutrients (macro- and micro-) play specific roles in the body and having a balanced diet from early on in life may not only affect weight but also overall health, digestive health, cognitive function, energy levels, and many more.
Eating a variety of foods is the best way to ensure an adequate intake of nutrients for children. Each infant or child is different and some may experience feeding difficulties, require more nutrient-dense foods or guidance related to specific disease conditions. Our Dietitians are experts in assisting parents with these situations.
