Run in Croatia

If I say Croatia, images of the semi-final of the World Cup in 1998 will probably emerge from your memory.

run in Montenegro

Finally the holiday in the Balkans, one last run in a little known country: Montenegro.This is a Balkan country in Southeastern Europe, bordering the Adriatic Sea and border of Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Kosovo and Albania.I visited a place called the Bay of Kotor, the deepest fjord in the Adriatic Sea.

Metabolic windows : this also works for vitamins and minerals?

After exercise , our body must recover and why he opted for an efficient system that allows him to quickly replenish its stocks of nutrients including glycogen. Thus, during the first hours after an effort , now is the best time to make everything our body needs including carbohydrates and proteins. This optimal period ” metabolic window ” lasts about two hours.

This subject has been treated much but a question running through my head for a while and I asked Nicolas Aubineau , nutritionist dietician well known in the sports world ( to see their website: http://www.nicolas- aubineau.com / ) .

My question: nutritionists recommend using metabolic window in after the end of training two hours. This period she also conducive to the absorption by our cells vitamins and minerals?

His answer : the metabolic window involves both macro- and micro – nutrient nutrients . I can even say that this metabolic window is the most suitable in the half hour after you stop exercising . So take vitamins and minerals just after exercise allows for better assimilation.

Metabolic window is optimal in the half- hour stop . More simply , the more is taken early , the better!

Then there are variations between each nutrient on their speed and degree of assimilation , with positive or negative interference between each of them. Question of “complexity” of the bolus at the time of recovery!

Nicolas thank you and see you soon for another question!
