❄️ HOW TO FEED IN THE COLD? It’s a #askedbyyou at #deejaytrainingcenter.
For training and competitions in a cold but not extreme environment, assuming adequate clothing, a normal diet is sufficient… even if some small changes can help us adapt better.
????CARBOHYDRATES: a small dietary mistake based on foods rich in sugars, such as a dessert, is more than justified if we are exposed to very low temperatures.
????BREAKFAST: not just carbohydrates, remember that protein digestion increases metabolism. This thermic effect is superior to that of ingesting fats and carbohydrates. A #breakfast with a good protein content can lead to a higher increase in body heat (up to 6 hours after ingestion).
???? OMEGA-3: if taken consistently, they improve tolerance to low temperatures as they are components of the membranes.
‼️ CLOTHING AND HYDRATION: pay attention to the layers of clothing and their technical quality, they must allow adequate transpiration to encourage the evaporation of sweat; the cold then causes the perception of thirst to be reduced. The risk, therefore, is to consume less fluids during exercise. Remember to drink!
