That slows down when you don’t eat, doesn’t it?And for performance – there must be a reason why pro sportsmen and women are always sipping energy drinks, taking bites from bars and conduct post match interviews while downing their team-sponsored protein and carb shakes. Plus, you’ve probably had some pretty sucky workouts in the past when you’ve not eaten beforehand.It seems that regular eating and performing and looking your best generally go hand in hand.But then again, many cultures are based around fasting, and while this might be for religious reasons, it doesn’t seem to do them any harm.
