Peak Nutrition: Smart Fuel for Outdoor Adventure
The NOBA (National Outdoor Book Award) for Best Instructional Book and a Mountaineers Books Bestseller.
Peak Nutrition: Smart Fuel for Outdoor Adventure is more than just a delicious cookbook. Hines and Pollmeier realized for people to be motivated to better fuel their bodies, they needed to better understand how they worked in relation to food. They dive deep into body and digestive system science; outdoor sport motivation, recovery, and hydration; developing healthier eating habits; how to better fuel aging bodies; and much more.
