Biking nutrition tips
Today is Bike to Work Day in many cities and towns across the Ocean State, and even the country.
Officials are encouraging and supporting bicycling for local, short distance travel, in hopes of making our communities more bicycle friendly.
Bonnie Frechette, Marketing Team Leader at Whole Foods, University Heights, joined Mary Larsen in downtown Providence to share some nutritional biking tips.
It’s important to prepare the body for bike riding. This includes eating a high carb diet for several days in advance so that the body can properly store glycogen in the muscles to draw from.
An example of breakfast for the day of a ride could include hard boiled eggs, oatmeal or bagels. Be sure to have breakfast two to three hours in advance of ride.
Packing healthy snacks for the ride is also key to keeping your energy up. Homemade trail mix is a great snack to pack for a bike ride.
