BEFORE GOING SKIER
We opt for cereals (muesli topped with dried fruits), slices of black bread whose sugars are "slower" to assimilate, and a drink to hydrate . We sweep away the 11-hour pump stroke with dried fruits (rich in slowly assimilated fructose, potassium and antioxidants) or oleaginous ( almonds , hazelnuts ), rich in minerals and omega 3 , slipped into the pocket .

THE LUNCH BREAK
Balanced and not too rich to stay efficient. Pasta or rice, with a little meat or eggs. Top with a salad and fruit for vitamin C, especially if you only eat one sandwich.

AFTER SKIING
In the evening, it is fun ... without alternating systematically raclette, fondue and other tartiflette! A vegetable soup refills the body with water , mineral salts and fiber . As a main dish, we go on meat or fish with vegetables. We finish with fruits that neutralize free radicals produced by physical activity and the sun.

THINK TO DRINK ... WATER!
At least 1.5 l, so as to compensate for dehydration due to cold. We avoid soft drinks, too sweet, and we are wary of mulled wine: first, alcohol lowers alertness and promotes the risk of falling, second, it dilates the blood vessels and makes it more sensitive to cold. Expect to be by the fireside to sacrifice to tradition.
