Whether you are skiing
down moguls, riding down
a mountain on a bike or
enjoying a vigorous
tennis match, you need to
function at your peak
potential. But it is hard to
keep your edge when you are feeling wiped out and ready for the couch instead!
Our bodies work a lot like a car. It needs fuel to function effectively. All
activities use fuel, which is measured in calories and often referred to as energy. Unfortunately, many of us leave home on a half-full tank or even
worse! In order to run effectively, it is important to make sure our fuel tanks are properly filled. Food for thought
One of the best ways of taking on board food before and immediately after
exercise is in drink form, such as a power-packed shake because it is easier for the body to utilise the nutrition instantly and it doesn�t lie
heavily in the stomach. Eating a large meal before or after exercise which gives you all the correct protein, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals, such as
meat, pasta, vegetables and fruit, often leaves you feeling lethargic and in need of a siesta, rather than energised and ready to go!
