Nutrition for Surfers
Our friends over at Surfline have posted a terrific article about health and nutrition specifically for surfers – but good for ANY of us, really!
The article and Q and A with a famous sports nutritionist talks about the importance of eating organic and raw foods as opposed to heavily processed and fat saturated foods – which can actually do more harm than good to your body… especially if you’re trying to either fuel up for a session or recover from a go-out or workout.
The article reminds us that “When you eat processed foods for example, foods that are in a box, can or from a fast food place, you are eating “food” produced and heavily marketed by companies that are economically driven. They are profit driven — not health driven.”
The article also reminds us of the importance of hydration and givse a formula for proper re-hydration – with WATER, not expensive and overly sweetened sports drinks!
