Thank you for your interest in my previous post — I’m glad so many of you were curious about the drink I mentioned! So, let’s dive a bit deeper into it. While watching this year’s Tour de France, I noticed that Tadej Pogačar always drank a cherry-colored drink after each stage. I got curious and started to look into what it was — turns out, it’s the ENERVIT MAGIC CHERRY drink. What did I find out? It’s made from an extract of the Vistula cherry variety. This cherry is naturally rich in polyphenols, which have strong antioxidant properties. These compounds help neutralize free radicals in the body produced after intense exercise, which in turn supports faster recovery. Pretty impressive — but also pretty expensive! A single 9g portion costs around €5.60 here 🙃 My natural alternative: Aronia That made me wonder — could there be a simpler, natural alternative? Yes! You can actually grow your own source of polyphenols at home: aronia (also known as chokeberry). Its composition is very similar to that of the Vistula cherry, and it also contains an exceptionally high level of antioxidants. Until I grow my own bushes, I’ve been buying organic aronia juice from my local health food store — and I’ve already tested it on myself during training and recovery. The result? Great taste, easy digestion, and I really feel it helps with post-ride recovery. If you’re looking for a natural way to boost recovery and overall health, give aronia juice a try. It’s one of those underrated superfoods that deserves a spot in every athlete’s kitchen. #garden #gardening #farm #farmstr #offgrid #nature #training #cycling #hiking #running #cyclingnutrition #biohacking #naturalbiohacking
