We can all agree nutrition and hydration are key elements for not just training but to leading a healthy and fulfilling life.
Now, there are of course various different methods to the science of what works and what doesn’t.
A lot of it is hot air, much of it is confusing as well but while it can be difficult to pin down what is right for you, there are some simple facts harmonised across all quarters of the fitness world which give you a cornerstone heading into events like the upcoming du Tough Mudder.
Drink smart and eat smart: The cleanest food and drink around
As one of the world’s most challenging mud runs – the event is returning to the UAE December 8 and 9 – it’s crucial you get your body in the best condition possible.
After all, your body is no different to a car. You’re going on a trip and you need to fill it with the appropriate gas to get you there – not too much and not too little.
Better quality fuel and crisp nourishment put into your system will result in better output and performance. Ultimately, clean nutrition and hydration are the foundation to any success and the manipulation of what you put in will make a tremendous difference.
That’s where Volvic Middle East and brand ambassador Marcus Smith comes on board.
As the founder of Inner Fight GYM, the extreme athlete knows exactly what’s required to provide the right sustenance and after last week’s tip to write down you goals, he’s back with another handy bit of advice.
Check out the clip above to see what he has to say and after completing week one’s task, he’s got challenge number two prepared.
Remember, for your chance to be a part of Marcus’ Volvic Army, all you have to do is upload a picture on social media of your favourite and healthiest meal with the hashtag #FindYourVolcano
