Eat Well....

 

Have you heard the saying "You are what you Eat"? The quality of food we put into our bodies is exactly what we will get out of our body"
Growing bodies need great nutrition. They need all the vital nutrients and minerals for their rapid growth and development. Eating "raw" and "fresh" as much as possible is the key to great health for you and your family. Raw and fresh foods contain essential nutrients which is a far superior food choice compared to muesli bars, roll ups, chocolate bars and Mc Donalds to name a few. It is vital to encourage great eating habits at an early age to set them up for life. Growing bodies cannot function at optimal levels if the food we are putting in is not of the highest quality.
Think of this, " would you fill your car up with unleaded petrol instead of diesel?" and if so would you expect your car to run as if it was on diesel? These questions apply also to the human body, great fuel is required to make your body work better, function at optimal levels, to achieve more, be more productive and to grow and develop. Processed, packaged and fast food options have unfortunately become the food of choice for its availability, accessibility, easiness to prepare and increase salt and sugar making it addictive and appear to be more tasty.
Did you know what these types of foods contain? They contain partially hydrogenated oil, brominated vegetable oil, high fructose corn syrup, artificial colours and flavours, benzoate perservatives, caffeine, artificial sweeteners, MSG, olestra, sodium nitrite and nitrate. This creates a cocktail for obesity, heart disease, stroke, decreased energy, poor immune system, learning difficulties, overworked and stressed digestive systems, sluggish metabolisms- and this is what our kids are eating!
It is vital for the future of our community, our world and of course our children to be eating nutritious foods over a lifetime.

Port Melbourne Colts....A Long History.

 

The Club first came into being in 1957.It was put together by three men, Alex James, Brian " Moppa " McBroom and John Berti. It all started when a group of young men had been playing in the YCW competition, at under 18 level, and having won the Premiership, wanted to stay together after they turned 18. They then decided to play for a club named, Middle Park YCW, which in fact was the first year of our Club, it was called Middle Park Colts. As just about everyone who played for the team came from Port Melbourne the name was changed in 1958 to Port Colts, and the team commenced to playing at The Lagoon Oval in Graham Street, where we it remained for several years, until finally moving to our present home at Murphy Reserve in the late 60's.The club originally played in the Sunday Suburban Football League, then the Melbourne Amateur Sunday Football Association. With the demise of the local
football Sunday competitions, the Club turned to Saturdays and entered the Metropolitan Football League in 1969, where it remained for 6 years.The Club then went into the Southern Football League for a few years, then to theWestern Suburban League, which then merged with our present competition
which was called the Footscray District League at the time, and is now the Western Region Football League. The Club originally started with just the one open-age team, until 1972,when the Reserves were added, and then in 1975 the juniors commenced,and have continued to the present day.
