I am a calorie burning machine!

Hey Gang! I recently wrote a post on an innovative method to improve consumers’ abilities to make sensible food purchase choices https://www.46sportfitnessrehab.com/new-food-package-labelling-coming/. “Activity based” food labelling is supposed to allow the consumer to get a quick idea of the amount of calories contained in a food/drink item. By displaying the duration of a certain activity (i.e. running, cycling) it would take to burn off said calories, you get a better…

Patience is a virtue (it really is!)

Hey everyone! Happy day after SUPERBOWL 51!  Congrats to the Pats for an unexpected and spell-bounding comeback.  Best wishes go to the Falcons who had the Pats befuddled for 2 and 1/2 quarters of football.  Another lesson for all of us that success can be fleeting if 100% commitment to the objective is not consistent!  Anyhow, I feel a bit sorry for both teams because next year neither team will…

Now on to the business at hand. With winter in full swing, at least in these more northerly climates, I thought it would be appropriate to touch on injuries related to falls. Remembering that late 1980’s TV…

Vitamin D–what you need to know!

Hey Gang, hope everyone is enjoying this “more like winter in Ottawa” weather.  As you know we are now over a month out from the Northern Hemisphere’s winter solstice.  Those daylight hours once dwindling away as we approached Dec 21st are now getting ever so slightly longer.  Thank-you Momma Nature!  Assuming the weather somewhat cooperates, we should be able to get some of that glorious winter sun on what exposed…

Do food labels really matter or work?

As I was on my way into Ottawa this morning to drive my wife to work I heard a brief report on 1310 News citing a study on food labeling in the UK. After a quick check on the 1310 News website I was able to link to the article and give it a good read http://www.rsph.org.uk/filemanager/root/site_assets/our_work/areas_of_work/activity_calorie_labelling/activity_equivalent_calorie_labelling_paper_rsph.pdf. The just of the article states that more needs to be done by the…
