Ienka's note on Nutritious food

I first developed my interest in nutritious foods 25 years ago, when my husband John was diagnosed
with Hypoglycaemia because he had given up the adrenalin sport of Parachuting, and the dieticians'
recommended diet changes were too boring for my husbands exotic palate.
We must all agree that exercise is a big part of maintaining our health.
Thus onboard Absoluut2 we have an elliptic exercise machine. But rather than having this inside a gym,
we have placed it on the aft deck along side the Jacuzzi. This way our guests can enjoy the scenery
passing slowly by as their exercise time passes all too quickly. We also keep Yoga mats for those who
have brought along their preferred yoga DVSs. A natural feature of decks are the safety rail which make
ideal stretching bars, again exercising outdoors. And for the guests who love to run or bike ride the
tow paths alongside the canals are perfect as there is no traffic and its often out in the countryside or
through small villages.
And getting on and off the boat at the locks on the canals offers long or short distances to run, walk or bike.
During the past 5 years we have found that most of the guests whose company we have enjoyed
have been health conscious without being fanatical. And they have enjoyed the style of food that we offer.
Firstly, we provision Absoluut2 with Organic food wherever possible.
And these days I am pleased to tell you, it is much easier to source these Organic products from the
wholesalers than it was 5 years ago. And we never buy farmed fish, only locally caught fresh fish.
