In Our Fast Lives, How Can We Be Sure We are Getting Everything We Need?

How the society is at the moment, everything we do seems to be done against the clock!  Our world is moving at a fast pace and there is no way of slowing it down but we have to make sure that our bodies are getting everything that we need!

For me and my children, the weeks come and go and there seems to be no time for relaxing and chilling, whether it being the football and volleyball training numerous times a week, along with the weekly matches at the weekends, there is the constant battle of homework and household chores and that is just the children.  Obviously I have my own employment and housework to contend with.

One of the things that I dread every day, is what to have for dinner, what to give the children in their lunches....as there is always the element of healthy eating.  As a family we are extremely sporty so I have to think of all the "extra" energy that is needed.  I like to prepare and give them snacks that are slow release carbohydrates, this way it keeps them feeling full and not finding the urge to "pick" between meals.

Meals - breakfast, this is an important meal as this sets them up for the day ahead.  Making breakfasts appealing can be hard, when you are rushing and possibly tired, so changing and offering a variety is the key here.  One day scrambled or boiled eggs, next day porridge or cereals, next day toast etc, this way there is never the boredom factor of the same foods being consumed and at the same time giving the body a variety of necessary nutrients that are needed. This theory should be put into action across all meals.  Our bodies are machines.

Fluid consumption is also important.  Water is the most important thing that should be consumed as our bodies are made up between 50-65%, so replacing and maintaining those levels are vital.

There is something that can be done to ensure that all levels are given that extra boost and that being supplements.  Supplements can be taken for so many things and help the bodies run as smooth as possible.  All members of the family can take supplements. This is something that eases my mind knowing we are all getting that extra something!
