ENERGY

:: nutrition and different food options ::

26th July 2021

In Episode Six we discuss energy, more specifically food. What you put into your body when pushing it to work hard is important and there are a lot of options.

The amount of food that you carry will be influenced by the activity that you are going to do, but it is always best to prepare to support yourself for longer than you expect to as unplanned trip extensions aren’t uncommon. When planning for a trip, think about storage of your food, and, more importantly, what you know will work for you. A new diet might seem like a good idea, but as your body adapts it can lead to life-threatening conditions.

A part of energy which is often underestimated are electrolytes. It is possible to be poisoned by water, as too much can dilute the important minerals, salts and sugars which are also found in your bloodstream.
