I finally find the time to write about the second part of my conclusions on my meeting with a sports nutritionist! In a previous post, I described the phases of hydration before-during-after effort. Now I will focus on what (is recommended) to eat, how and when, and how to optimize both your digestion and the energy supply for good effort conditions. I know that this is quite a long post but you will probably find a useful tip or two!
THREE HOURS
are needed in order to complete your DIGESTION.
This leads to a couple of comments:
- It is not recommended to do physical activity immediately after eating, the best choice being 3 hours after food intake.
- Every 3 hours, you need to refuel.
