What food could be very interesting?
Dates, for example, are an ideal food for sport. Dates are a very energetic food, so they can help a lot in sports practice.
Unlike sweetened products, dates can provide energy to the athlete for a long time because their high fiber content prolongs the feeling of satiety and improves the assimilation of the carbohydrates they contain.
They are also one of the plant foods rich in glutamine, an amino acid necessary for the formation of the glutathione antioxidant. Combined with its energy properties, it is a perfect food for athletes.
Dates are ideal for replenishing forces after a long walk or a hard effort.
