Sport Nutrition

Non-sporty consumers drive
Sports nutrition market.
As global sales of sports nutrition products maintain
healthy growth rates, one distinct – and unexpected –
group of consumers is emerging as the main driver for the market,
made up of people who are not necessarily interested in sports.

Sports nutrition consumers can be split into four main groups:
bodybuilders, athletes, recreational users (who pursue sport as a hobby)
and an emerging group of lifestyle users.

Lifestyle users, are not necessarily very athletic, but are
choosing to consume sports nutritional products as an initial
building block in leading a healthier lifestyle.

People within this group mainly consume sports nutrition
products in order to provide a refreshing beverage, a quick meal
replacement or simply a healthy snack. Consumers within the
group may also use sports nutrition products to provide an
energy boost during illness, or even when feeling tired.

Fresh is Best

Fresh is Best

The truth is that some of what we’re told about health
products doesn’t add up.

We are told what goes into a product and that liquid nutritional
supplements are readily absorbed and therefore good for us.
What we should know is that nutrients that are heat processed
(pasteurised) and then suspended in liquid
are nutritionally diminished.

Do your own research or contact me, not all supplements are equal.

Super Foods for Super Health

Super Foods for Super Health

George Kowalski and Vic Cherikoff have collaborated to produce a

NEW book for Kakadu International called ‘Super Foods for Super Health.’

This is a great way to learn more about Kakadu Juice and all its ingredients.

Read this exciting book and learn about super fruits and their nutritional value.

Vic has included information on the Australian bush fruits, herbs and spices,

their active components and nutritional significance along with a little on their

traditional use by Aborigines.

George concentrated on general antioxidants and the properties

of the non-Australian exotic fruits in Kakadu Juice.

This book can be downloaded for FREE from the members’ media centre

now and is an excellent supporting document for Kakadu International

members to have, both for their own information and when they are

explaining the value of drinking Kakadu Juice

As a member all you’ll have to do is sign in & download it and we believe

that a hard copy will also be available for purchase very soon too.

Resveratrol Fights Fat

New research finds that red wine chemical

can limit growth of fat cells;

could help fight diabetes and heart disease

Resveratrol, the chemical compound found in red wine
and an increasing target of medical research, can limit
obesity by preventing the development of fat cells,
according to a study presented Monday at the Endocrine
Society's 90th-annual meeting in San Francisco. A team of
scientists from the University of Ulm, located in southwest
Germany, report that resveratrol shows potential as a
fat-fighting supplement, by both preventing weight gain
and stopping some of the health problems caused by obesity.

The findings echo previous research where resveratrol
supplements helped keep obese mice healthy.

"Resveratrol has anti-obesity properties by exerting its
effects directly on the fat cells," said Pamela
Fischer-Posovszky, a pediatric endocrinology research
fellow at the university's diabetes and obesity unit.
"Resveratrol might help to prevent development of
obesity or might be suited to treating obesity."

During their research, Fischer-Posovszky and her team
isolated human stem-cell lines, called preadipocytes.
These fibrous tissues eventually mature into adipocytes,
which store energy and insulate the body in the form of fat.

The scientists exposed the preadipocytes to various doses
of resveratrol and observed that the chemical hindered the
maturation of the cells into adipocytes. The resveratrol also
reduced the cells' production of certain proteins linked to
the development of obesity-related disorders, such as
type 2 diabetes and clogged arteries. Furthermore, the
resveratrol stimulated the production of a
metabolism-regulating protein, called adiponectin, which
decreases the risk of heart attack. People who are obese
are typically adiponectin deficient.

The dosage of resveratrol used in the study is equivalent
to consuming several bottles of wine, suggesting that
supplements would be more effective than wine
consumption in fighting fat. And the effects of the
resveratol were dose-dependent, meaning the more
resveratrol used, the better the results.

Fischer-Posovszky is pleased with the results but warns
that "you have to keep in mind that there might be
adverse effects," she said. "So far, there are no
reliable studies on resveratrol in humans."

Folate good for Sperm

Folate an essential nutrient

A new study finds that Folate intake is linked to genetic
abnormalities in sperm.

BERKELEY – Healthy men who report lower levels of the
nutrient folate in their diets have higher rates of chromosomal
abnormalities in their sperm, according to a new study by
researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, and the
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

Women of child-bearing age are encouraged to maintain
adequate levels of folate in their diet, but the new findings,
to be published Thursday, March 20, in the journal Human
Reproduction, provide evidence that what men eat may also
affect reproductive health.

"Recent studies have suggested that paternal diet affects
sperm count and motility, which is important for conception,
but this new study takes it further to say that male diet may
be important for healthy offspring as well," said study coordinator
Suzanne Young, a researcher at UC Berkeley's School of Public
Health. "Our study is the first to look at the effects of diet on
chromosomal abnormalities in sperm. These abnormalities would
cause either miscarriages or children with genetic syndromes if
the sperm fertilized an egg."

Folate is a water-soluble B vitamin that occurs naturally in a wide
range of foods, particularly liver, leafy green vegetables, citrus
fruits and legumes. It is needed during the synthesis of DNA, RNA
and proteins, and it is necessary for the production of new cells.
Folate also helps keep in check levels of homocysteine, an amino
acid that, when elevated, is linked to heart disease.

Studies have shown that adequate intake of folate by women
just before and during pregnancy significantly reduces the risk
of neural tube birth defects, such as spina bifida or anencephaly.

The Truth about Supplements

There is an overwhelming number of supplements on the

market leavening many consumers confused.

If we look a little closer we discover there are really only

2 kinds of supplements to choose from; those that are natural and

those that are not.

The hard part is knowing the difference. Marketers will do anything

to convince you their product is either "natural" or is so high-tech

it’s somehow "better" than natural.

The need for supplementation is not at question.

As we decrease the variety of plant-foods we eat and increasing

the amount of synthetic or highly processed foods, we strip our

diet of essential nutrients while simultaneously exposing our

weakened defences to more toxins.

Australian research of 44 common fruits and vegetables reveals

up to 60% reduction of essential nutrients when compared with

only a few decades ago.

Supplementing to fill in those nutritional gaps appears a wise move.

The question now becomes, “fill in the gaps with what?”

According to Australian researchers, the world’s richest source

of critical nutrients come from our own back-yard. Exciting discoveries

from the Australian Outback place many Bush Foods into the record books.

Getting a boost from bush tucker is becoming trendy.

Here's good advice for practice: go into partnership with nature;

she does more than half the work and asks none of the fee. ~Martin H. Fischer
