Pre- and post-exercise nutrition: essential tips

What to eat before or after sport?

It's important to feed your body properly to optimize your sporting performance. Here we offer practical advice and essential information to help you achieve your goals.

Diet before exercise

The importance of pre-exercise nutrition

Pre-exercise nutrition plays a crucial role in supplying your body with energy. A balanced pre-exercise diet can improve your endurance, strength and concentration.

What to eat before exercise

Before exercise, opt for complex carbohydrates such as wholegrain cereals, pasta or rice. Lean proteins, such as chicken or fish, can also be included. And don't neglect healthy fats from foods like avocados or nuts.

Gourmiz' bars are rich in carbohydrates. They're ideal for providing the energy you need before and during exercise.

Feeding timing

Ideally, eat a full meal 2 to 3 hours before exercise to allow proper digestion. If you have less time, opt for a small snack containing carbohydrates and protein about 30 minutes before exercise.

Nutrition after exercise

Post-exercise recovery

After exercise, it's essential to nourish your body to promote muscle recovery, tissue repair and replenish energy reserves.

What to eat after exercise

Focus on protein for muscle recovery. Protein sources include chicken, fish, eggs and dairy products. Complement with carbohydrates to restore energy reserves and vegetables for essential nutrients.

Gourmiz' protein bars are also there to provide you with the proteins your body needs to regenerate.

Timing of post-exercise feeding

Ideally, eat a full meal within 2 hours of exercise. This will allow your body to recover efficiently. If this isn't possible, a snack rich in protein and carbohydrates is an excellent option to aid recovery.

Hydration

The importance of hydration

Never underestimate the importance of hydration. Water is essential not only for maintaining physical performance, but also for maintaining the overall balance of our bodies. It plays a crucial role in many vital functions, such as regulating body temperature, transporting nutrients and eliminating waste.

Good hydration ensures that all these functions are carried out efficiently, which can directly influence our energy levels, our ability to concentrate, and even our mood. In the event of even slight dehydration, our bodies can suffer consequences such as increased fatigue, headaches and reduced physical and mental performance.

It is therefore essential to drink enough water throughout the day, especially during and after exercise, and in hot conditions, to avoid these inconveniences and maintain optimal health.

Drink water regularly

During exercise, drink water at regular intervals to maintain adequate hydration. After exercise, continue to hydrate to support recovery.

By following these recommendations, you'll be able to maximize your sporting performance and achieve your goals in the best possible way. Remember that each individual is unique, so adjust your diet according to your specific needs, and consult a health professional or nutritionist if necessary for personalized advice.
