To Food, or Not to Food (KG)

I know a bunch of us are starting to think about our menu choices and some of us have already chosen a few things. These are a few things I have found that can hopefully help with decisions.

While we are on our adventure for the day, the heat and the journey itself can make the things we ingest cause us discomfort. Here are some food choices, I think, we might consider staying away from:

• Cheese; Since cheese is high in fat, it digests slowly in your stomach and it could feel like it can weigh you down, making it harder for you to hike.
• Other foods high in fat; These foods are turned into energy less efficiently than carbs and proteins.
• Candy; Sugar spikes can crash energy. Exercising with these sugars can also send the sugars to your muscles causing a double sugar crash.
• Spices; On a hike, spices can cause heartburn and indigestion because of their long digestions time.
