Supa Secrets Tips
Be an athlete like Michael Klim
Dual Olympic gold medallist for the Australian Swim team Michael Klim and 2 of his children were part of the launch of our Supa Secrets healthy kid's snack brand. He believes that nutrition plays an important role in training to become an athlete but just as equally important for kids to grow up with healthy eating and exercise habits. Michael is currently training again in the hope to be part of the 2012 Olympic team and with his dedication and "can do" attitude we are proud to have him represent Australia

HEALTHY EATING TIPS FOR TEENS
1. Ditch the soft drink
There is nothing good to say about soft drink. Filled with sugar, artificial colours, flavours and chemicals, this is not something you want to be putting into your body. Even the diet versions are bad with artificial sweeteners that can cause an array of neurological disorders. There are approx. 9 teaspoons of sugar in a normal can of Coke! Stick to milk, water and fresh fruit juice (not bottled) if you would like something sweet.

2. Fast food on occasion
We all enjoy a bit of a treat every now and then, but this should not be the foundation of your diet. Fast food (McDonalds, KFC, Hungry Jacks, Donut King) are not to be eaten regularly! If you visit the food court with your friends, opt for a healthier option such as a healthy Subway sandwich or Nando's wrap (no chips!).

3. Think fresh
There is nothing better in summer than beautiful fresh fruit! Watermelon, mangoes, strawberries, kiwi fruit, pears - yum! Make yourself a lovely fruit salad and add a scoop of low fat greek yoghurt on top for a great after school snack.

4. Strong bones
Studies indicate that teens are not getting enough calcium today, especially young females. Make sure you are including some good sources of calcium in your diet, including yoghurt, cheese and milk. Make a healthy breakfast smoothie with milk, fresh fruit and some frozen yoghurt.

5. More Water
As the weather is heating up it is important to drink more water, especially during sport. Take a water bottle to school and keep it on your desk. Water does not mean "liquid" i.e. soft drink, cordial, sports drinks or caffeine drinks! Another great side effect of drinking lots of water is clear skin!

SUPA TIPS TO STRESS FREE EXAMS
1. Preparation is everything
Yes, I'm sure that you have heard this before, however being prepared is vital in keeping stress to a minimum. Give yourself plenty of time to study. By doing this, you will eliminate the need to cram the entire textbook into your brain the night before the exam. The same goes for the exam day. Prep your bag the night before with everything you need for the exam, so that you are not looking for your calculator 5 minutes before you are due to start. Simple preparation will keep you at ease and give you more time revise.

2. Take breaks
When you look at your schedule, plan sections of the day that you are going to study and also block out times when you are going to have a break. Breaks are very important for your mind and body, as it allows your mind to digest the information you have been reading and also gives you time to refuel for your next session.

3. Eat properly
Make sure you are eating a balanced diet throughout your exam period, including lots of Omega 3's (salmon) complex carbs (brown rice, wholemeal bread), fruit and vegies. 4 Red Bulls and a Mars Bar is not a balanced diet! Omega 3 fish oil has been scientifically proven to support healthy brain development, so take some fish oil capsules to feed your mind!

4. Relaxation
Most people are not thinking about relaxation during exams, but taking some time to meditate, go for a walk, listen to music or have a bath can be very beneficial for stress management. Don't let yourself become too overwhelmed. Take some time out and just let your mind have a rest and reset.

5. Get Some Sleep
Although sometimes we need to stay up late before a big exam, doing this consecutive nights in a row will eventually catch up with us. Sleep is very important, not only in letting our bodies repair themselves, but it also gives your mind time to process everything you have been learning. If you don't sleep, you will find that your mind becomes foggy and you may not be able to think clearly. If you are having trouble sleeping, try using a few drops lavender oil on your pillow.
