NUTRITION FOR COLD WEATHER

These are our top tips to help defend against the cold:

❄️ Start hydrated - significant dehydration will impair blood flow to our extremities (fingers and toes) and increase chances of frost bit.

❄️ Start fuelled - if you have low muscle glycogen levels your core temperature will drop lower before the shiver response kicks in.

❄️ Check your iron levels - one of the symptoms of iron deficiency is feeling cold because low iron levels impair blood flow and oxygen delivery to the body.

❄️ Eat regularly - where possible eat a carbohydrate containing snack once every hour to account for increased energy demands e.g. pressed fruit and nut bars, dried fruit, sports waffles, clif shot blocs, trail butters. Also take something more substantial to eat like a sandwich or wrap, the digestion process of food causes heat to be released and will help to warm up the body.

❄️ Take a flask with warm fluids to encourage you to drink, your thirst response is delayed when exposed to the cold - e.g. green tea & honey, sports drink, full sugar squash, soups, hot chocolate. It does not 'warm up the body' per se but it will give you a warm feeling providing a much needed boost.

❄️ Maintain a 'healthy' body weight - If you are underweight you will have reduced body fat levels and you will get colder quicker.

❄️Over Night Bivvy/Tent - if you’re outside overnight, eating a protein containing snack before bed may help ‘warm’ you up a bit e.g. jerky, protein bar, protein hot chocolate drink.
