Eating before Exercise

 Today's Tip:

 EATING BEFORE EXERCISE

Your body clearly needs food, but too much just before exercise can
impair your performance and make you feel sluggish. On the other hand,
not eating enough can make you feel weak, tired and unmotivated.  Try
to strike a reasonable balance. Eat your larger meals three to four
hours before exercise. Eat small meals or have a snack during the last
hour or two before starting to exercise. Good choices include foods
high in carbohydrates, adequate in protein and moderate to low in fat
and fiber.
