Show Notes
-
Be careful with how MUCH you supplement CARBS during hard training sessions & races: at above 60g/hour the body SHUTS DOWN its liver glucose production. That ain’t great for LONG-TERM EFFORTS!
-
PLUS, it limits fat oxidation – but it is minimal. And the RISE of carb oxidation is ALSO minimal. But remember, … You shut off the liver glucose production! You only need enough carbs during exercise to KEEP GLUCOSE LEVELS STABLE.
-
“Extra” salt might not be AS GOOD as you think it is for EXERCISE, and probably not AS BAD you as you think for general health. Although some people have been flagged as “SALTY SWEATERS”, it is likely that you simply sweat out more if you consume more.
