Beschreibung

Food should be really simple. It is the means by which we nourish our bodies, providing them with the nutrients and fuel we need in order to live, exercise and socialise. Yet, in recent years, food and nutrition have become more complicated, confusing and polarising than ever before.
Fuel for Thought by leading sports dietitian Renee McGregor is a practical and trustworthy guide to sports nutrition, whether you're a world-class or real-world athlete, or just someone who wants to improve their relationship with food. Cutting through the jargon and misinformation, Renee draws on over twenty years' experience of working with sportspeople from a range of disciplines and backgrounds to provide straightforward, accessible advice about how you can fuel your adventures.
The follow-up to More Fuel You, in this book Renee looks at sports nutrition through the lens of her own sporting passion – running. She urges caution over the explosion of social media nutrition and fitness experts, apps and programmes that all claim to offer bespoke dietary advice. Instead, she offers practical information based on her own personal and professional experiences, including an A–Z of foods and a section dedicated to her own tried-and-tested, budget-friendly recipe ideas which use simple, everyday ingredients. There is also guidance on how to recognise and get help with dysfunctional behaviours, from REDs to exercise dependency, and how to be informed about your hormonal health when you go in search of appropriate support.

    Drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in 1996, Brian Dawkins fought to elevate not only his own game but that of his entire team. He sweat, bled, and dominated through sixteen season in the NFL all the way into the Hall of Fame, but not for a moment did he believe his strength alone brought him that glory. Every step of the way the Lord had his back. From coaches that wanted to break him to defeats and bitter lessons in humility, his career is a testament to his faith and an homage to the countless people that helped him along the way. 
     
     
     
    In the wake of his success, Dawkins comes forward to describe his journey to become one the best safeties in the NFL. Physical training wouldn't cut it. Blessed by the Best follows Dawkins trials to train his mind and faith along with his skill. As a nervous kid from Jacksonville, he never dreamed of one day standing in front of a crowd to accept that golden jacket. But one way or another, he made it. Dawkins tells his story straight, unafraid of exposing his own weaknesses; his over competitive spirit that takes losses to hard, the tunnel vision that estranged him from his kids, and the self-doubt that plagued much of his early years. Triumphs, pitfalls, love, and struggles Dawkins shares them all, not for himself, but in gratitude of those who have helped him along the way.

    Mountains are among the most awe-inspiring features of the Earth's landscape, rising as towering peaks that shape weather patterns, influence ecosystems, and define the natural borders of continents. Their formation is a complex process driven by immense geological forces acting over millions of years. The primary mechanisms behind mountain building include tectonic activity, volcanic processes, and the gradual effects of erosion and uplift. 
    One of the most significant processes responsible for mountain formation is tectonic activity, particularly through folding and faulting. The Earth's crust is divided into massive plates that float atop the semi-molten mantle. When these plates collide, the immense pressure causes the crust to buckle and fold, resulting in the formation of fold mountains such as the Himalayas and the Alps. These ranges continue to rise as the plates press against each other, making them some of the youngest and most geologically active mountains in the world. Fault-block mountains, on the other hand, form when tectonic forces cause large sections of the Earth's crust to break and shift along faults. The Sierra Nevada in North America is an example of a fault-block mountain range created by the movement of these fractured rock masses. 
    Another major contributor to mountain formation is volcanic activity. When magma from beneath the Earth's surface erupts through cracks in the crust, it cools and solidifies, gradually building up into towering volcanic mountains. Over successive eruptions, these formations can grow into massive peaks such as Mount Fuji in Japan or Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa. Volcanic mountains can form along plate boundaries, particularly in subduction zones where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, or in hotspot regions

    Soccer, known as football in most parts of the world, is one of the most popular and widely played sports across the globe. It is a game that transcends cultures, bringing people together through the love of competition and teamwork. To understand soccer, it is essential to explore its rich history, learn the basics of the game, and familiarize yourself with its rules and positions. 
    The origins of soccer can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where various forms of ball games were played. Modern soccer, as we know it today, began to take shape in England during the 19th century. It quickly gained popularity and spread internationally, becoming the universal sport it is now. The simplicity of the game—a ball and a field—makes it accessible to players of all ages and backgrounds, contributing to its enduring appeal. 
    At its core, soccer is played by two teams, each consisting of eleven players. The objective is to score goals by getting the ball into the opposing team’s net while defending your own. Matches are typically divided into two halves of 45 minutes each, with additional time added for stoppages. The team with the most goals at the end of the match wins. If the score is tied, extra time or penalty shootouts may be used to determine a winner, depending on the competition.
