About 7 years ago, when I started to be into sports more seriously, it was not by far the perfect moment to do it: I was still recovering from a complicated abdominal muscles surgery, my hemoglobin was still low, I had just lost my 12 years job, spring was late that year, so outside it was wet, dirty and cold, my kids were still small and needed me a lot, I was already on my late 30’s…

This post is inspired by a day at Eva’s school, when she had for lunch “only” a full box of grapes. Eva told me how, at lunch time, everybody panicked, especially the growing ups. 🙂 She was asked many times if that is all she eats, if that is satiating enough, if she is not hungry etc. They all offered her either bread, fries or…ice cream. She refused and said she is just fine with what she eats, but the third time she has been offered an ice cream, she said yes.

In 15 ani, de cand sunt parinte, am citit foarte putine carti legate de cum sa cresti copii. Am avut motivele mele sa nu o fac; dar nu despre asta e vorba aici.
Cred mult in intuitia de parinte; in societatea de azi insa, e greu sa te mentii mereu pe pozitie, atunci cand ai alte idei despre cum sa educi si sa ai copii “buni”. Am fost criticata, de multe ori, pentru multe alegeri pe care le-am facut, ca parinte: ba pentru ca mi-am inscris copiii tarziu la gradinita, ba pentru ca nu ii hranesc mai nicidoata cu carne si cu lactate, ba fiindca nu i-am vaccinat de la un moment dat,
Sportul și nutriția
Legatura dintre sport și nutriție se cunoaste inca de pe vremea primelor Jocuri Olimpice din Grecia. Cercetarile arata (Harris, H.S., 1966) că medicii greci insistau mult asupra importanței legaturii dintre dieta si performantele sportivilor. Foarte puțină carne se consuma inițial în Grecia. Dieta de atunci consta in cereale integrale, cum ar fi orzul sau grâul, consumate ca atare sau sub formă de pâine și o varietate de legume, cum ar fi ceapa, morcovii, castraveții, fasolea și diferite verdeturi.
