This fortnight’s serving of The Rec Recipe: Don’t fear the fat! 🥑✨

Healthy fats play an important role in keeping your body and mind functioning at their best.

Why are healthy fats important?

🧠 Support brain function and heart health
Omega-3 fats found in fish, walnuts, chia seeds and flaxseeds are essential for overall wellbeing.

⚖️ Help regulate hormones
Healthy fats support the production and balance of important hormones throughout the body.

😋 Keep you fuller for longer
Adding healthy fats to meals can improve fullness, satisfaction and enjoyment.

🌞 Help absorb key vitamins
Vitamins A, D, E and K need fat to be absorbed properly and used by your body.

🍽 Welcome back to The Rec Recipe! Healthy habits, served fresh from the Margaret River Rec Centre.

This fortnight’s serving: Fuel before you move! ⚡

What you eat before exercise can make a big difference to your energy levels, performance and recovery. The key is choosing the right fuel at the right time.

30–60 minutes before exercise:
🍌 Banana & nut butter
🫐 Yoghurt & berries
🍎 Fresh fruit or berries
🍞 Jam or honey on toast
🥜 Dried fruit & nuts

2–3 hours before exercise:
🌯 Chicken wrap
🥣 Overnight oats
🥑 Eggs & avocado toast
🥦 Stir fry

Hot tip: If you're training soon, choose lighter, easy-to-digest snacks. If you've got a few hours before your session, a balanced meal with carbohydrates, protein and healthy fats will help keep you energised.

Pool days are for family fun – splashing, giggles, snacks and tired kids on the drive home. 🏊😆

We’re a Watch Around Water pool, which means we work with families to keep children safe while they enjoy the water.

Our lifeguards are here to help in an emergency, but the biggest difference comes from parents staying close, watching actively and supervising their children at all times.

Remember – parents supervise, lifeguards save lives. 🫶

🍽 The Rec Recipe is back! Healthy habits, served fresh each fortnight from the Rec Centre.

Confused about carbs? Let’s clear the plate and bust some common myths!

🍞 Carbs are not the enemy:
Carbs don’t automatically lead to weight gain - overall balance, portion size and lifestyle matter most.

🥗 Skipping carbs isn’t the answer:
Your body needs carbs for energy, especially for exercise, brain function and recovery. Cutting them out completely can leave you feeling flat.

⚖️ Low-carb isn’t always best:
What works for one person isn’t one-size-fits-all. The right balance depends on your goals, activity level and health needs.

🌾 Not all carbs are created equal:
Wholegrains, fruits, legumes and veggies provide fibre, vitamins, and long-lasting energy - very different from highly processed options.

Try to focus on quality carbs like oats, brown rice, wholegrain bread, and fruit to fuel your day the right way. Need help with your nutrition? Reach out to our in-house nutritionist Jack at [email protected]
