Ten Tips for Optimum Athletic Recovery
1. Drink water, all you care for, before during and after engaging in
strenuous activity
2. Eat fruit
upon completion of activity to
bring blood sugar back
to normal levels and provide sugar for conversion to muscle glycogen.
3. Consume
celery and/or tomatoes
to provide necessary
sodium at least several times per week or as often as you participate
in strenuous activity.
4. When possible,
rest after meals to foster optimum
digestion.
5. Remember, exercise does not provide energy, it requires energy.
Sleep as much as you desire.
6. During long
duration activities, drink sports drinks of
fruit blended
with water. This works very well. For "ultra" events, add celery to the mixture.
7. Monitor your
water losses
by using a scale to measure your weight before
and after workouts.
8. Raw foods
provide the maximum nutrients for the minimal
calories
encouraging the most rapid recovery. Gradually raise the raw
percentage
of your diet until you approach or reach 100%.
9. Develop the habit of going to bed
earlier to obtain a good night's sleep.
10. Keep meals simple for optimum digestion,
and varied to insure optimum nutrition.
