The “Food for Life” approach is based
around living foods. Synthetic or tablet based products
are generally avoided.
Fresh raw vegetables possess electro- magnetic fields
and minerals that can energise our bodies. This cutting
edge approach could explain why Carl Lewis followed
a vegan regime in training for his gold medal haul at
the Los Angeles Olympics. It is also interesting to
note that Dave Scott, five times winner of the Hawaii
Iron-man triathlon is a vegan.
The Food For Life approach is based on shifting the
balance of foods that you currently eat to build strong
blood.
Elite UK sailor Paul Brotherton started a “Food
for Life” programme in January 2006. He lost an
unwanted 6 Kilos in eight weeks and experienced a return
to peak endurance levels, which had become unattainable.
Sports nutrition programmes consist of a one and half
hour initial consultation, in person or by telephone,
followed by short review sessions.
