Me too, Ruth, I’m highly considerate as to what food I’m consuming whilst working out whether it’s on or off the water.\u00a0\u00a0 To fill up the body’s energy storage for an exciting day on the water, I strive to eat small, light energizers several times per day.\u00a0\u00a0 Obviously carbohydrates constitute as primary fuel for athletes, however, the importance of protein and fat must\u00a0 n o t\u00a0 be neglected!
\nMe personally, I avoid highly acidic or processed food and usually stick to simple stuff like bananas, rice, potatoes, tuna, turkey or chicken sandwich (in my case:\u00a0 I never eat white bread as it causes me feeling bloated), cereal and milk, yogurt, nuts… stuff like that.<\/p>\n
Everyone is different, so get to know what works best for you.<\/p>\n
Something I would like to make you aware here:\u00a0\u00a0 The good news is that eating to reach your peak performance level likely doesn’t require supplements.\u00a0 It’s all about working the right foods into your fitness plan in the right amounts at the right time.\u00a0 Only your wallet knows it’s a ‘power bar’ and not a banana and some cereal, once you gulped it !!\u00a0 Have fun, Gabi<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
When engaging in water sports I am quite sensitive with the food that I have in my stomache. What’s the best food? What will keep energy levels up for the longest time with the least chance of ‘revolting’ (pain, acid regurgation etc.)? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[630],"tags":[595,594,596,597],"class_list":["post-2118","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-fitness","tag-energy","tag-food","tag-peak","tag-performance"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.kitegabi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2118","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.kitegabi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.kitegabi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.kitegabi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.kitegabi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2118"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"http:\/\/www.kitegabi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2118\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2120,"href":"http:\/\/www.kitegabi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2118\/revisions\/2120"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.kitegabi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2118"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.kitegabi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2118"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.kitegabi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2118"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
