Tony always stays up to date on the newest findings and advancements in diet and fitness science. “I find it fascinating how different diets affect chronic illness and overall health”. Studies reveal that natural foods have anti-inflammatory qualities while processed foods, saturated fats, and high carbohydrate intake exacerbate the body’s inflammatory response.
At Food and Fitness, our mission is to improve and/or prevent the impacts of people’s chronic illness progression through good nutrition and exercise.
My prior athletic endeavours in boxing, middle distance running, martial arts, and sprinting, has given me a special perspective on what it takes to dedicate oneself to enhancing one’s athletic aspirations and performance. At Food and Fitness, we offer dietary plans and periodised strength and conditioning programmes intended to improve your athletic performance.
OUR APPROACH
The Plan for You
Food is a fuel source for the body, but eating processed or fast food can lead to overweight or obesity, which has been linked to hypertension, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, and elevated blood lipids. Fast foods, particularly those high in saturated fats and refined carbohydrates (for example, sugared soft drinks and refined grains), have also been linked to the development of major depression.
“We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions, because what works for one person may not work for you”.
Exercise can help to increase one’s energy levels, it builds and strengthens bones, reduces stress, as well as the risk of developing certain diseases. When combined however, a healthy diet and a good exercise routine, provides a better quality of life and increases life expectancy
