Geoff and Alice to supply;

Nutritional supplement
Large tea pot

2 cook tents, if it rains we are doomed

Hogget/ mutton – nutritionally the best supply of tryptophan, and B vitamins, plus fat is needed to up take your vitamins and minerals.

Hogget, mutton, ( and turkey) have tryptophan. It is an essential amino acid, meaning that the body can’t manufacture it. The body has to get tryptophan and other essential amino acids from food. Tryptophan helps the body produce the B-vitamin niacin, which, ¬in turn, helps the body produce serotonin, a remarkable chemical that acts as a calming agent in the brain, plays a key role in sleep, results in a feeling of calmness, so nerves are not an issue.

Our sugars of choice are
1)Maple syrup, supplies calcium, good for cramp, muscle spasm prevention.
2)A natural seaweed supplement for complex sugars. Research reports that sea weed supplements are made of a set of vital, complex sugars that are essential for proper cellular communication. Our supplement of choice for the rapid conversion of on board sugar/ glucose into instant energy.

A high-powered sea nutrient favoured by the most robust sea going paddlers on the planet. .. taken in the morning by paddlers it helps the human body regenerate at cellular level. Especially just before a race – providing a boost to help power up before Waka heats and finals.

As a food, seaweed is a highly nourishing and contributing factor to the robust strength and vitality of the people of Tonga.

Extensive research reports that people who include nutritious seaweed as part of their traditional diets are healthier and live longer than people who do not.

For antioxidants we prefer to eat all the colours of the rainbow, every colour of fruit and veg you can get hold of.

What to eat. Diet regime is meat and three veg. A cave man diet.
This cuts out most white food groups.
White milk, is so processed it is not full of calcium, it is full of phosphorus, that will actually reduce your on board calcium level. See stats on Nz osteoporosis, a nation of milk drinkers.
White bread is actually a mixture of additives, insecticides and flow agents, an interesting cocktail. Our natural therapy practice is built upon the effects of white food in your diet.
See our web site for more info on nutrition, stress, and toxicity www.painrelief.co.nz has further interesting reading and photo’s of last year’s winning team members.
Nutrition

In short white bread will not supply your body with good building blocks.
White sugar will negate what good nutrition you can get.
Stress, will negate good nutrition. Stress comes in many forms like extreme exercise, emotional stress, or mechanical stress like locked up joints.

Naturopaths well recognise elite sports athletes are at greater health risk than couch potatoes. Couch potatoes do not sweat out their trace minerals. Athletes don’t just sweat out water and salt, there are over 60 trace minerals to be sweated out . New Zealand school science classes target cobalt and selenium, as the major trace minerals that are short in our soils, but minor trace minerals all have their uses. Some folk will try and tell you supplementation only leads to expensive urine. So why do naturopaths personally supplement, because they would rather have expensive urine than a heart attack.

What to take. Families bring a chilli bin, a great camp site washing up sink, keeps the water hot.
Bring chairs if you prefer not to eat your breakfast standing up..
Bring potato peeler if you like your kumera peeled – for the daily on site evening hangi.

All eating folk and Paddlers Bring.
Your own named: Tea towel. Chair, plate, bowl, egg cup, fork, knife, spoon, drinking mug or cup.

If cold showers and camping is not your cuppa tea, your tea mug ends up as your comfort zone.

If your body can not cope with sleeping on the hard ground, bring a camp stretcher. If you have more organic issues with your back or neck, get these issues sorted before hand.

Book your Enar back therapy sessions well before Nationals
It takes at least three weeks lead in to get on top of back issues. Function will return before pain reduces.
It takes a year of being responsible for your spine, before paddlers can hit the water rowing hard out.Your last appointments will be 3 to 6 months apart.

It takes at least a network of over 10 supporters to get one paddler over the finish line at Nationals, this includes younger brothers donating their special one on one time with mum and dad.
It will take a network of over 50 supporters per paddler just to get across the finish line at Worlds in New Caledonia 2010, and Canada 2012.
The support systems are in place to take Wairarapa Paddlers to the highest level. Coach Joe is just waiting for paddlers to step up and be accountable.

Paddlers:
Intermediate, Under 19’s and under 16, if you have back issues from rugby or other wise, your appointments with Geoff and Alice are of up most importance and money free. But expensive time wiser, as your family must commit to getting you to Featherston. The difference between gold and forth place is only 1 sec. The difference between silver and bronze is 1/20sec. Waka is a team sport, and lead in time is 12 months to the finish line. If one of your team mates in under functioning in the lung area, via smoking, do not let their dreams go up in a puff of smoke, get them on to the nicotine patch system. Joe Nuku is the best coach, the composition of the individual team members has already changed over time. It is a real credit to Joe that he keeps the culture of the waka on track.

Book your Scenar / Enar sessions before Nationals

Alice will be bringing her Enar to Nationals, especially good for acute issues like wrist and scapular pain. German Orthopaedic specialist DR Gerd Raetzel, tags pain less than 3 days as acute. Chronic issues require specialised Scenar treatment in a clinic setting. At Nationals Alice with her Enar, and can target neck and shoulder issues. Alice will apply the Joe Nuku system of time management, focusing energy where it will have most effect. Her primary interest is in those paddlers who have already committed to getting therapy support for themselves, having already adapted to the Enar therapy system of serotonin support, energy elevation, plus improved muscle function and pain relief.

happy paddling, roll on Nationals, then aim for world’s.

Being in your 50’s will kill you

Posted in Uncategorized, Nutrition for health, Natural Therapy on November 14th, 2008

Yes its true, being in your 50’s will kill you.
The life you have lead, the gifts you have sent ahead to support yourself in your old age,, they will all come to roost in your fifties.

What ever your weakness is, it will try and take you out.
As soon as you blow out those candles on your cake – its count down time baby. Geeze,,, they way some folk carry on, you would think death was a big secret.

The grim reaper awaits.
But wait -what gifts can I send ahead for a healthy old age? and we are not talking a few extra mins of ill health at the end of the day. We are talking the big stuff – like a healthy active old age – with great circulation – viagra never gets a look in.

The human body, and its organs can support life for 120 years. The only thing stopping the human mind and body reaching 120 years – is you guessed it ! drainage !! toxicity and a dirty blood stream

Yes darling, if you do not put out the garbage, it WILL bite you on the bum. You are reading this blog, you have read our web site, reading is actually not a detoxification process.

so0Ooo what is stopping you pulling the trigger and doing your four day cleanse? It can not be cost, if you are smoking, no worries- you can do the Geoff Pitt Master Cleanse – and smoke, just do not eat the cigarette.

It can’t be the enema, because you have been using your arse since the day you were born. It’s the day you stop using it you need to really worry.

Four days without coffee, well that’s just sad. Coffee has those wonder anti cancer properties. Nothing like a coffee enema that is, to cleanse the liver.

Four days without alcohol ? even binge drinkers can survive for four days. And if your can’t go four days without a drink -get thee to an AA 12 step programme. Not only does alcohol kill brain cells,, but the alcoholism disease progresses even when you are sober.

Sober up and grow up. Once you stop drinking, your personality , will start to redevelop and evolve from the date you started drinking. Enlightenment is only around the corner.

So if you started drinking in your teenage years, yay, you have still got all those issues to go through. And if you started drinking pre teens – well who said you can’t got back and have your life all over again. You are going to have to learn and function in society without alcohol as a crutch.

....your weakness is going to kill you in your….. fifties,, you have the best chances of survival if you take action early
