Mountaineering and meal recommended behavioral food

Hello. Chofu Parco store, Staff S.

Climbing is a high-load exercise even during aerobic exercise. Therefore, nourishment is lacking.
When energy in the body is used, blood sugar levels drop, but the situation where it drops significantly and loses power is called hanger knocks. Although there are individual differences, an hour of mountain climbing consumes about 300 to 400 kcal.
Therefore, it is necessary to provide detailed supplies during climbing. I often walk while putting gummy and candy in my mouth, and I think that I eat jelly etc. in behavioral food during breaks.

Therefore, this time, we will recommend a meal suitable for climbing while also explaining nutrients.

Among the three major nutrients proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates, lipids have high calories per gram, but carbohydrates are fast absorption, so it is carbohydrates that are suitable for nutritional supplementation during aerobic exercise.
There are monosaccharides and polysaccharides in the carbohydrates.

▪️ Monosaccharide → Glucose, etc. It does not decompose, absorption and blood sugar levels increase rapidly. Behavioral food. It is not suitable for meals because blood sugar levels rise rapidly and fatigue tend to accumulate.
▪️ Polysaccharide → Starch, glycogen, etc. It is absorbed after being broken down into monosaccharides, so absorption and blood sugar levels are moderate. For meals in the morning, noon and evening. Because it takes time to absorb, it is not suitable for behavioral eating.

It will be used as above. The following is a typical classification.

Monosaccharide → Ramne, candy, jelly drink, Japanese sweets
Polysaccharide → Rice, bread, potatoes, wheat

Behavioral food is recommended because jelly drink absorbs quickly. In addition, ramne is rich in glucose, so it is suitable for an action diet. Anpan, which is said to be good, is also good because the anko is monosaccharide and the bread is polysaccharide, so it is recommended for eating in the mountains.

Eat with polysaccharides. By the way, in fat, fried food is bad for digestion, so it is not suitable for meals on the day before and on the day. Basically, lipids are not recommended in the mountains, but pork is recommended because it is rich in vitamin B1 that converts carbohydrates into energy. Let's take a lot of sugar. Personally, I often eat meat udon the day before. Water dumplings are also recommended.

In this way, if you pay attention to meals, I think that climbing will be even easier. It’s also important to eat what you like in the mountains. Eating what you like will have a positive mental impact. Humans have a huge impact on the body. If you eat what you like and care a little about nutrition, I think that climbing will be even more fun.

Last but not least, I think it is useful in life to be careful not only for climbing but also for eating.
