A dentist check-up on high carb fuelling and your teeth
Manage episode 502806642 series 3615951
We all know carbohydrates are essential for endurance performance, we also know the same gels, chews and drinks fuelling our rides could be destroying our teeth? But what should we do, can we protect our teeth and still do high-carb?
In this episode, Ronan is joined by Jason Henry, a specialist in oral surgery and decorated masters cyclist, to explore the surprising connection between sports nutrition and dental health. They discuss how high-carb fuelling strategies affect our teeth, why frequency matters more than quantity, and practical ways cyclists can protect their smiles without compromising performance.
From rinsing strategies to night-time recovery routines for your teeth, this conversation offers a new perspective on performance optimisation that goes well beyond watts and training zones.
