the day, nut eaters tend to have a diet with overall higher nutrient quality
Nuts offer magnesium, niacin, vitamin E, copper, and manganese, as well
as other phytochemicals that are health protective, like resveratrol

Exercise and Hydration
September 29, 2009It is important to be well hydrated when exercising. Start well hydrated – drink 500ml fluid 2 hours before exercise.
Water is a suitable fluid replacement drink for mild to moderate exercise, lasting up to 1 hour. For intense exercise up to 1 hour, a sports drink containing up to 8% carbohydrate can speed up water absorption, provide additional fuel, delay fatigue and improve performance.
Dehydration causes cardiovascular stress, increases core body temperature and impairs performance. DRINK UP!!
