Honey for endurance:
Research conducted at the University of
Memphis Exercise and Sport Nutrition
Laboratory found that consuming honey before
exercise provides "time-released" fuel to give
athletes steady blood sugar and insulin levels
over a longer duration. This natural sweetener
also boosted power, speed, and endurance in
competitive cyclists who downed it prior to and
at 10-mile intervals throughout a 40-mile race.
For quality and purity, I recommend USDA
Certified Organic raw honey. Enjoy it straight off
a spoon, or mix it into a pre-workout snack like
oatmeal.
