Recent research on nutrition, fasting and exercise and its role in body composition.

Australians spend an average of 31 years of their lives on a diet yet we remain one of the most statistically overweight people in the world. Does anything work to shift unwanted kilos?

Interesting read about inflammation. Worth perusing.

Inflammation is the scourge of modern life, judging by all the supplements, workouts and diets that promise to fight it. But what precisely gets inflamed, and why – and is it always a bad thing?

In our family we are always looking for really tasty veg meals to try and this one (thanks for sharing Amanda!) from Jamie Oliver is sensational. If you’re looking to start including a few more vego meals in your week, try starting with ‘Meatless Monday’ like we did…

What am athlete!

A remarkable Australian...
This is the man known as Koolbiri or 'Mailman Jimmy' who for many years carried the mail on foot between Fowlers Bay and Eucla in the early days of settlement on the South Australian West Coast.
Following Mailman Jimmy's death the Saturday Journal reported on 25 August 1923; "He was the Royal Mail between Fowlers Bay and Eucla for many years. He ran with the mail bags every fortnight from the Bay to Eucla, a distance of 280 miles, and returned during the following fortnight. He could do the journey in faster time than a man on horseback, owing, I presume, to his superior bushcraft, and his knowledge of reliable water supplies...."

Vigorous exercise can not outrun a poor diet, new study finds

A new University of Sydney has bad news for anyone who thinks vigorous exercise can compensate for a diet that favours junk food over fruit and veg.

Food for thought...

"Bicycle is the slow death of the planet."

A banker made the economists think this when he said:

“A cyclist is a disaster for the country’s economy: he doesn’t buy cars and doesn’t borrow money to buy. He don't pay insurance policies. Don't buy fuel, don't pay to have the car serviced, and no repairs needed. He doesn't use paid parking. Doesn't cause any major accidents. No need for multi-lane highways.

He is not getting obese.

Healthy people are not necessary or useful to the economy. They are not buying the medicine. They dont go to hospitals or doctors.

They add nothing to the country's GDP.

"On the contrary, each new McDonald’s store creates at least 30 jobs—actually 10 cardiologists, 10 dentists, 10 dietitians and nutritionists—obviously as well as the people who work in the store itself."

Choose wisely: a bike or a McDonald's? It's something to think about.

PS: walking is even worse. Pedestrians don't even buy a bicycle!
