You already know it’s essential to fuel your body to get the most out of it
Carbohydrate-rich foods are the best fuel for working muscles, whether for running a marathon, grinding out laps in the pool, cycling or working out at the gym. Your brain also needs carbohydrate as its source of energy for concentration and memory
Carbohydrate comes in different forms:
Faster Acting
For a fast energy boost. This type of carbohydrate comes from foods like rice, potato, fruit and lollies.
Slower Acting
Good for slow energy release, like pasta, wholegrain breads and cereals and some fruits and vegetables.
For recovering after exercise & fuel during exercise, Victorian Institute of Sport (VIS) and New South Wales Institute of Sport (NSWIS) Sports Dietitians recommend immediate consumption of a quick acting carbohydrate, like The Natural Confectionery Company lollies.
Just a handful of snakes or dinosaurs provide the required amount of carbohydrate to refuel after your exercise. Followed by a nutritious lunch or dinner you’ll be fully recovered and ready to go again.
In need of a boost during your workout then reach for a quick carbohydrate re-fuel that is a treat as well..
Quick acting carbohydrates like that found in TNCC lollies can:
- maintain your energy levels,
- promote endurance
- optimise performance.
