Hi there,.I hope you are well. Since, you are training for a marathon, here's what you need to do. -Small out your meals, which means have meals at regular intervals, including mid meals. Have 4-6 meals throughout the day. - Before your practice, add dried fruits, fruits, to your diet. - Your requirements for carbohydrates, protein,and fats is likely to go up. -You will need 60% of carbs ( as this is going to be the primary source of energy), Protein-20% ( this will help in building muscles, recovery, and providing strength throughout. Get your complex carbs such as oats, wheat, barley, broken wheat, and protein sources such as lean meat, dairy, eggs, beans, lentils, nuts, and seeds. - Fats will be 20% to provide satiety, fight inflammation, hormone production, and for absorption of nutrients such as Vitamin D, E, K, and A.Nuts, seeds, fatty fish, eggs, avocado are great sources. - Drink enough water as hydration is important during, in between, and post the marathon. Take care ✨✨

You can have energy drinks though I don't know much about it 😷
Hey there may I know what kind of sport you play ? High energy sports needs more energy to play if that is your concern,you have to manage your carbs level in your body and after sport protein and electrolytes levels To know more on it you can book one on one consultation with me 😄

I’m training for a marathon and want to optimize my nutrition for performance. What should my pre-race and post-race meals look like
Pre-race Eat a balanced meal rich in complex carbs, moderate in protein, and low in fat 2-3 hours before the race. Think oatmeal with fruit and nuts, or a turkey sandwich on whole grain bread. Post-race Aim for a combination of protein and carbs to aid in recovery. Options include a turkey wrap with veggies, a smoothie with protein powder and fruit, or grilled chicken with sweet potatoes and greens.
Na_Dia7d
Post-race meals are crucial for recovery and should include a mix of protein and carbohydrates to replenish glycogen stores and repair muscles. Good options are a protein smoothie with fruits, grilled salmon with quinoa and vegetables, or a turkey sandwich on whole grain bread. Hydration is also key, so don't forget to drink plenty of water.

I am working women and I have a very sedentary lifestyle experiencing side effects of this... what to do?
Hii I am Dr Varsha , an Ayurvedic expert . Ayurveda has effective detox therapies to remove the toxins from our body. The body feels heavy and lethargic due to the toxin buildup which is called Aama in Ayurveda. Please attend my live sessions to know more regarding it.
Hi. Hope you are doing good! A sedentary lifestyle, especially as a working individual can have negative consequences. To beat this, form a proper, doable routine for yourself. Wake up and have some water. Go for a half an hour walk and come back. Take a shower and hop into the kitchen to prepare some healthy breakfast for yourself. Between your work, make sure you take 5-10 min out for short walks or stretches. Basically some form of movement is very important. Take your lunch on time In the evenings, you can take a work break and water plants, dust the furniture, etc. you can even go for a walk. Have your dinner on time and try to sleep early. If you incorporated exercise in your routine, you will probably fall asleep early. Make sure you read a few pages of some book before you sleep

Kapsül dolap nedir ? @AJoyfulBreak @sevdadiker @toobe @BaharKalyoncuYücel
Daha az kıyafetle daha fazla kombinasyon yaparak gardırobu basitleştirmek ve sadeleştirmek günümüz şartlarında artık herkesin istediği bir şey haline geldi. Bunu uygulamak kolay mı? Moda dünyasında yeni trendler hız kesmeden devam ettiği için bence değil🥲 Ama bunun farkındalığının başlaması ve sadeleşmeye çabalamamız bile çok güzel bir adım bence.🌸
Hmmm, bütün ihtiyaçlarımızın en az kıyafetle karşılanabileceği bir dolap mıdır ?

How can I manifest greater physical strength and endurance in my workouts?
Manifesting starts from the wish and the burning desire to achieve goal in life write your goals and process as well to achieve the goal visualise the process as well as the goal that you are achieving through this process and consistency is the key if do it consistently you will surely achieve it affirmations with visualisation will also help
Hey Deepti, Good to see you here.. To manifest anything I suggest three Ws.. 1st is Wish then Will power and then Way When you have a strong desire to manifest your wish, keep faith and start enjoying the wish as if it has happened in your reality and then start applying the ways or various methods whichever fits best for your desires.
