Whether a competitive cyclist or a leisure rider, natural supplements can help enhance your performance, and lead to overall better wellness.
Cycling requires strength, endurance, and determination, so to perform at your best, it’s essential to fuel your body with the right nutrients. As with the intense demands of any fitness routines, many cyclists turn to supplements to aid their performance and recovery, both on and off the bike, but it can be tricky to untangle the vast array on offer on today’s market.
Sara and Gary, a devoted husband and wife team, have been running the Hoddesdon Wellness Lounge for just over a year, and in that time, they have amassed a remarkable wealth of knowledge on all matters of natural health.
With their passion for holistic wellbeing and their genuine desire to help others, Sara and Gary have made it their mission to guide and support their community through the often overwhelming landscape of lifestyle, nutrition, and supplementation choices.
Drawing from their extensive training and personal experiences, the couple offers personalised consultations to address a wide range of health concerns, from chronic pain and digestive issues, to stress management and boosting energy levels.
The duo commented: “Cycling, whether for leisure or professional purposes, can take a significant toll on the body, leading to a variety of issues that require careful attention and management. Injuries, fatigue, and dehydration are all common challenges faced by cyclists, and ensuring a swift and effective recovery is paramount. Making informed choices about the supplements and foods consumed, both before and after a ride, is crucial for maintaining optimal health and performance.”
Staying properly hydrated by drinking the right amount of water and replenishing electrolytes is often overlooked, but it plays a vital role in preventing debilitating conditions, such as muscle cramps and heat exhaustion.
“Electrolytes, such as sodium, potassium, and magnesium, are essential for regulating fluid balance, muscle function, and nerve impulses, all of which are vital for cyclists pushing their bodies to the limit. Top tips for any cyclist include closely monitoring hydration levels, consuming electrolyte-rich beverages or supplements, and incorporating nutrient-dense foods into their diet to support muscle recovery and overall well-being. By taking a proactive approach to health and nutrition, cyclists can maximise their performance, minimise the risk of setbacks, and enjoy a more fulfilling and sustainable cycling experience, at any riding level, without setbacks, and enjoy a more fulfilling and sustainable cycling experience.”
On the November 22nd, between 5pm and 9pm, Highway Cycles and Soul Seed are hosting a wellness event, supporting healthy cyclists and families, with their fitness journey.
