<\/p>\nTowards a smoke-free Monash<\/strong><\/h3>\n
To support the health of everyone at Monash, the University is moving towards becoming smoke-free by 2016.<\/p>\n
From 28 July 2014, smoking will only be allowed in designated areas at Monash. These areas will be marked in campus maps and clearly signposted at all Monash venues.<\/p>\n
Going smoke-free is a big transition for the University, and we understand this will be a big transition for smokers too. Over time, we’ll provide more information on how you can go smoke-free, and how to handle the changes with those around you.<\/p>\n
It’s our priority to create a healthier environment for all at Monash.\u00a0 This move places Monash among a core group of Australian universities committed to the health and safety of those on university grounds.<\/p>\n
More information is available at the Monash Smoke-Free website<\/a><\/p>\n

Preventing Type 2 Diabetes<\/h3>\n

Diabetes, if undiagnosed or not well managed, can reduce your life span by up to 15 years due to a raft of complications.<\/p>\n

Doug Ellis Swimming Pool refurbishment<\/h3>\n
The Doug Ellis Pool will be undergoing essential maintenance works to replace the roof structure and retile the 25m Variable Swimming Pool. This project will deliver important updates to the facility, including:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Addressing ongoing maintenance defects associated with the ageing pool roof.<\/li>\n
- Upgrading the air handling systems to increase air circulation and customer and staff comfort in the pool hall.<\/li>\n
- Re-tiling the Variable Pool in line with recent refurbishments to the main pool and spa.<\/li>\n
- Providing an improved aquatic environment including the installation of acoustic wall panelling to decrease ambient noise.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
- <\/ul>\n

- Replacement of muscle fuel (carbohydrate) to allow for faster return to normal energy levels<\/li>\n
- Intake of protein to aid in repair of damaged muscle and to stimulate muscle growth<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Remember: not every workout is the same!<\/strong>
\nDifferent types of workouts require different types of foods to help you recover after your exercise.\u00a0 If you’ve just done a weights session, you’ll need to consume more protein to recover effectively than someone who has done a cardio based workout.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/h3>\n

Nutrition tip of the month – Staying Hydrated<\/h3>\n
An often overlooked component of nutrition is the importance of fluid intake pre\/intra and post exercise. The loss of fluid during exercise has a negative effect on performance by decreasing concentration while increasing your heart rate and body temperature.<\/p>\n
![\"water\"](\"http:\/\/www.imna.ir\/images\/docs\/000076\/076539\/images\/12.jpg\")
<\/h3>\nTo ensure you are consuming enough fluid during your workout try weighing yourself prior to commencing exercise and then weighing yourself immediately after finishing your workout. The difference in your weight equals the amount of fluid that has been lost that needs to be replaced, if not you will become dehydrated.<\/p>\n
Remember, if you\u2019ve finished exercise and you\u2019re feeling thirsty, it\u2019s most likely that you\u2019ve already become dehydrated.\u00a0 If this happens, don\u2019t ignore your body \u2013 rehydrate as soon as possible.<\/p>\n
<\/strong><\/p>\n
<\/a><\/h3>\n
How can nutrition aid me in my recovery?<\/h3>\n
How well you recover from activity is determined largely by your post-exercise nutrition.\u00a0 Eating the wrong foods can lead to a slower recovery.
\nPost-exercise nutrition works through the following three ways:![\"smoothie\"](\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-b6g7lPOPqsE\/UKQEV2azW9I\/AAAAAAAAH5I\/oN07LCf7zPg\/s1600\/Banana+Protein+Smoothie.jpg\")
