RecipesOver the years Good Health has been sponsoring an up and coming young athlete Alex Fort. Alex is a National Surf Life Saving Gold Medalist and a member of the New Zealand Canoe Racing Team and is currently training for the World Canoeing Championships to be held in Germany later this year.
With the help of Alan his father, we will be following his journey to his ultimate goal of the Olympics and of course that ever elusive gold medal.

Hi everyone,
It's Alan here, Alex Fort's Dad. As you can imagine Alex and his New Zealand Team mates are busy training for the World Champs in Germany in late July. They are going to compete at the Czechoslovakian National Champs first which will be great preparation for upcoming competition.
The Team is as follows and I am sure you are going to go to know these athletes over the coming years. A lot of the group compete in Surf Life Saving at a National level.

Only Zac , Alex , Jenny and Danielle are from the South Island.
They are all very busy preparing for what will be the biggest and most important Athletic Event of their young lives. There are usually 2 training sessions a day and somehow they are fitting in school and study ---- So I do what I can to help by keeping up with all the correspondence :-)
Our relationship with Good Health New Zealand started many years ago when Alex was much younger through our connection with the then South Island Territory Manager, Donna. Since Donna departed last year we deal directly with the Brand Manager Kim Batley who we both have a lot in common with and is a really switched on lady!
Good Health Hawiian Spirulina is Alex's secret nutritional weapon but we tell everyone we know about it, because it is so fantastic !! I have used it myself, for more years than I care to remember so it seemed only logical to get Alex using it as well. Spirulina is considered one of the worlds " Super Foods. It was the primary Protein source for the ancient Mayans. Its benefits are expounded by many Nutritional Experts we correspond with including David Wolfe of " Food Matters " fame. So please people, get yourselves into Good Health Spirulina and many of the other great products they have and not only improve your own health but the health and well being of everyone you care about.
I can only pass on to you what Alex's observations are. He needs big hits of nutrition that don't take hours to digest. So at 5am he will take a 4ooml Spirulina smoothy, with nuts, organic eggs and some added high quality protein and that is enough fuel to get him through to breakfast at around 7.30am. During the session he will
also consume over a litre of electrolytes. Not only is the Spirulina a great fuel but he says it really helps with his recovery phase as he fuels up through the day for the next session at around 4.30pm. And with our hideously polluted conditions here in Christchurch at the moment they are all downing quantities of Viralex which really seems to hep their immune systems keep on top of the bugs. You know what they say about an ounce of prevention -- :-) We can not afford for these athletes to get sick at this stage. It could put an end to the World Cup Campaign.
Dr John Hellemans has been Alex's friend and Mentor for years and we hope to approach John when Alex gets back from Worlds and see if there is some way of measuring this, which should be an interesting exercise. For those of you who don't know who Dr Helemans is --- He is an outstanding triathlete, multisporter and accomplished International Coach and Sports Medicine Specialist and we are very fortunate to have him here in Christchurch. He used to be the World Triathlon Champion !
Alex and I would be very happy to share our personal experiences with Good Health products in relation to Sport or just general health and well being. Please feel free to email us at fortress7@xtra.co.nz and we will be happy to help in any way we can.
