Hi,
Cramping. Bloating. Nausea. And the occasional diarrhea. It doesn’t have to be like this.
Just because as an athlete you’re demanding a lot out of your body doesn’t mean your gut has to suffer. And by the way, it may not make great pre-race talk, but gut issues are way more common than you think. The high amount of calories we consume, the added stress, and all that overheating is a recipe for distress.
SwissRX Gut Defense is a great start on your path to gut health because it reduces inflammation and supports beneficial gut bacteria which is such an important factor in rebuilding the gut barrier. Incorporate this one into your day-to-day and you’ll be friends with your gut in no time.
But there are other everyday routines you could be practicing as well, like optimizing your pre-workout nutrition. Avoid high-fiber, high-fat and complex foods in the 1-2 hour window before you exercise, and I’d even recommend that you have your pre-workout meal even 3 hours before heading out whenever possible.
You should also make sure you’re matching your supplements to your workout, like gels, chews or drink mixes for the hard days, and dense carb bars for the slower days. When you’ve got the right fuel, you’ve got the right gut.
And whenever I’m talking about the right formula for a great workout, I’ve always got to bring up hydration. Definitely monitor your fluid balance and stay on top of your electrolytes. We’ve got a number of excellent products to help you with that–check out Mortal Hydration, for one.
These are all great options for someone looking to improve their gut health in the new year, and they can be implemented as soon as possible.
But if you’re looking for more long term strategies and solutions, think about doing some research on probiotics and an anti-inflammatory diet. You can also reach out to The Feed and we’ll try to help you with this.
In the meantime, start with the SwissRX Gut Defense and incorporate the tips I’ve listed above.
Your gut can thank me later.
