 EAT WELL Belinda Recinella The "Eat well" component of the Positive Health workshop suite is facilitated by Dietitian Belinda Recinella. For details regarding Belinda see about us.
Our diet is an important component of our health and wellbeing, yet many of us are confused regarding this aspect of our health. Belinda's workshops help simplify and clarify the important insights in regard to diet and nutrition.
The style of Belinda's "Eat well" workshops are interactive and based on practical examples of common food and consumption issues.
The "Eat well" workshops can be run individually, or as a component part of a larger program incorporating other Positive Health team members. |
1. Healthy Eating - Facts v Fads Why do I sometimes get the ‘afternoon slumps’ at work?
How can I sort the nutrition facts from the fads?
What is a kilojoule? And what relevance is it to me?
This workshop provides an important background to understanding diet and nutrition.
Energy balance, fats, proteins and carbohydrates are explained and translated into foods and food patterns that can be adopted for optimal health. Participants will walk away with a clear idea of how to apply realistic changes to their eating patterns and achieve clearer thinking, more energy and a greater sense of healthfulness at work. |
2. Sports nutrition How do our nutrition needs change when we exercise and train regularly?
What food and drink provides an advantage for physical exertion?
In this workshop Belinda discusses the concepts from workshop 1 in further detail. The energy balances required for exercise and physical exertion are covered in detail. This is useful particularly for highly active individuals or those about to take on a new training regime. |
