Nutrition for Outdoor Recreation

About this book

Outdoor recreation is all about connecting with nature, feeling the joy of being outdoors, and finding satisfaction in doing hard things. Many adventurers seek out the best gear, clothing, and information to ensure success and safety in their sport. However, nutrition is also a key component that many are missing to optimize their performance outdoors.

Fueling properly for both adventure and life can promote longevity in outdoor recreation, prevent injury, and prevent backcountry emergencies such as heat stroke or dehydration. Beyond this, the right nutrition knowledge implemented well can make the difference between an amazing hike and a miserable one.

Nutrition for Outdoor Recreation takes readers through the basics of energy systems in the body to specific, practical, and actionable steps for different outdoor activities and scenarios. This guide will equip outdoor athletes with a foundation of evidence-based nutrition knowledge and a plan for any kind of adventure, energized and fueled to take on the wilderness.
