A new
e-recipe book, Using Food as Medicine: Exercise and the Gut has
been released by Monash University’s Department of Nutrition, Dietetics and Food.
Author Dr Ricardo
Costa said the book was inspired by the hundreds of athletes, from a wide range
of sports and competitive levels, who have contacted Monash University Sports
Dietetic Research Team requesting advice and guidance.
“Our main advice
focuses on the prevention and management of debilitating exercise-associated
gastrointestinal symptoms that affect athletes’ training and competition,” Dr
Costa said.
“It is also
inspired by the hundreds of exercise and nutrition professionals who have
completed our online course: Food as Medicine: Food, Exercise and the Gut.”
The book is
tailored towards those completing the online course (https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/fam-exercise-gut), providing practical dietary examples to support the theoretical material delivered.
It also provides
a starting point for athletes and supporting health and exercise professionals
to manage exercise associated gastrointestinal disturbances and symptoms.
