Food for Hiking: What are Your Options?

There are two vital components for optimal performance during a hike. Those are hydration and nutrition, without these your chances of safety and physical ability deplete rapidly. Whether you are on a long hike or just taking a walk, having water available is necessary. So make sure that you are packing enough or you are near water sources to replenish. When I speak of nutrition, I’m not talking about all the healthy foods that you should be eating at home. That can play a large part in how your body manages your hike but, what I am really getting at are the snacks and meals that you need along the way. In order to keep your energy levels high and your body functioning properly, you need nutrients that you can eat every couple of hours. On top of this, you need to have a good balance of your macronutrients which are carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. These are your primary components that your body needs for energy and maintaining a sound system. <a href="https://medium.com/@drakegladius2/food-for-hiking-what-are-your-options-af87cce06042">Read More</a>
