Learn to prepare simple and practical recipes to increase performance during physical activity
Eating before physical exercises is essential to preserve health and have a good performance during training. This is because a diet rich in nutrients, fiber and vitamins helps maintain blood glucose levels, the main source of energy for the body, and prevents hypoglycemia.
“It is recommended never to exercise on an empty stomach and, regardless of the time of physical activity, it is important to always eat about an hour in advance and not stop eating either right after exercising or within an hour”, recommends Tamara Stulbach , PhD in Nutrition and Public Health and specialist in Sports Nutrition.
