Intriguing article which I can relate to!
Interesting article. I think this stresses the importance of finding the foods that fuel you properly and are also very comfortable to play with.
One point I'd like to stress for the disabled athlete, a lot of us are sitting while we play and not using our legs whatsoever. This does make a difference on our digestive system. For this reason it is extra important that we stay hydrated in order to help the flow of our digestive tract. Also, when we are done with vigorous exercise, make sure we don't stuff our faces too quickly as this could easily cause stomach pains.
Let me know what you guys think!

Hey Tom, Tyler Garner here. I love the blog! I know we've talked about nutrition before, and it is also an area of interest for me. I look forward to keeping up with this!
ReplyDeleteHey Tom! Love the blog and the article, and of course can relate to the article too. During my internship I have done a lot of research on Health and Wellness foods and also studied an area for beneficial foods for athletes (including protein, omega-3, and probiotics/good for digestion foods) so if you have any questions feel free to shoot them my way. Oh yea, miss you :)
ReplyDeleteI will just +1 it
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandra! and I miss you too! Probiotics is one of my favorite studies of foods. Yo gurt does wonders for the digestive system. I try to have yogurt once a day, and I can tell that it calms my stomach down when it feels troubled.
