The nutritionist advice: Which Wellness by Oriflame product to use after long and exhausting sports activity, Part III

Let’s imagine that you have just crossed the finish line and you have on your neck the beautiful medal. Congratulations for your achievement!

After the marathon athletes live an extreme physiology stress accompanied by risk of infections and in particular respiratory infections. You better than any other expert know how important is the good and well balance nutrition regime and what you are going to consume right after the marathon will impact the process of your recuperation. After the marathon the glycogen storage in your body is completely exhausted that is why in the first hour after your run it will be highly effective to consume carbohydrates together with protein.

I don’t believe that you will be able to go for real food right after your finish that is why a good option is the carbohydrate-protein shake. The Swedish company Oriflame has developed a product named Natural balance Shake. It’s special formula is protected by patent and has been developed during 8 years after serious research by Prof. Stig Steen, professor in cardio surgery in the scientific centre Igelosa, Sweden. The shake has been developed with the idea to maintain and possible to improve the health condition of patients waiting for transplant. It contains all essential micronutrients, a complete amino acids profile, pure balance between Omega 3 essential oils and other fatty acids, low glycolic index and fibers. The Natural balance shake contains: pea protein, apples, whole eggs, whey (milk protein), hen egg albumen, ground sugar beet fibre, antioxidant and sweetener sucralose. The shake is offered in three flavors: vanilla, strawberry and chocolate. These natural taste are not synthetic, the shake does not contain gluten, artificial colors or preservatives, or GMO. It is produced by lyophilisation which evaporates the water and preserves the product in the maximum possible natural form and taste.

I wish you a good preparation, good luck and make sure you have fun!

At the Oriflame’s refreshment point situated in the Start/Final area each one of you will have his/hers dosage of Natural Balance Shake in combination with banana.
