Training takes a lot of energy from an athlete, so a lot of attention must be paid to nutrition so that physical activity benefits the body, and not harm.
When there is
There is best 2 hours before training... During this time, food has time to be digested. Eating earlier can cause stomach ache during exercise.
What if there is less than an hour left before the workout, and there was no opportunity to eat before? You need to drink a cup of very sweet tea, or tea with honey. Honey is a very energetic product that will give you a reserve of energy for at least an hour. Therefore, you should always have a jar of honey at home.
What can you eat
It is best to eat a carbohydrate meal before exercising. Such products include: buckwheat, oatmeal, pasta and many others. Try not to overeat, otherwise the stomach will digest food longer and the estimated time of two hours, which was mentioned above, may not be enough, and even three hours after the meal you will feel heaviness in your stomach.
What you can't eat
It is not recommended to eat fatty foods before exercise. Fats are difficult to digest, and the body will have to spend a lot more time processing them. Such food includes: sausage, salads, if they are seasoned with vegetable oil or mayonnaise, and other products from this series.
How to drink before exercise
Your body loses a lot of water during exercise, so try to drink more fluids before exercising.
