What are the best foods to eat prior to exercise? I am 27 years old

Experts in sports nutrition recommend that athletes who perform intense exercise should consume foods high in carbohydrates. This includes food like vegetables, fruits, pasta and a variety of whole grains. These complex carbohydrates are slowly absorbed from the stomach and maintain stable blood sugars

If you just eat simple carbohydrates like candy or chocolate bars, the sugar levels are not sustained and you may feel dizzy or weak. Moreover, eating too much candy is not good for your teeth.
