My soccer coach is suggesting we eat bananas at half-time of our
soccer game to rebuild our energy for the second half. I
understand that bananas are a very good source of energy, among
other things. I don't see any detriment to this idea, but my
question is this: Does the consumption of bananas result in an
immediate energy boost? I have always been led to believe that
food must be digested through the system before the body realizes
the benefits, and that usually takes several hours. Can you
enlighten me?
Dear Reader,
Many athletes wonder whether it’s beneficial (or not) to eat
before, during, or after their workouts and which foods are best
to eat at which times.
