Welcome to the Focus Fitness Blog.

Welcome to the Focus Fitness blog where the focus is on health, fitness and general well being. I created this blog because as a personal trainer working with clients every day I am always receiving requests for nutritional advice, healthy recipes and many different forms of fitness advice. In the process of keeping my knowledge as up to date as possible I personally do a fair bit of reading in all of these areas and am always coming across useful books, websites, blogs, magazine articles etc. This blog will be a perfect way to share all of this interesting and useful information with you. I would love to hear any comments you may have regarding the information posted here and also pass on the message if you find any useful information of your own. Hopefully, we can have some fun along the way.

Beware of the Tofu!!

Hello.

I have read many articles recently and had a very interesting conversation with one of the health experts at FILEX last year about the health, or indeed unhealthy, affects of Soy products. Living in Asia, most of us eat a lot of tofu and I know many of my friends children who use soya milk as an alternative to cow's milk. There is a lot of evidence out there which confirms that unfermented soya products e.g. tofu, soya milk, soya cheese, soya yoghurt etc interfere with the balance of our hormones. I have taken this information seriously as my own daughter is lactose intolerant and was enjoying soya milk on a daily basis. I have now changed to rice milk (please don't let me read any articles on that one!). Please look at the link below and make up your own mind.

Let me know what you think.
