For many individuals hiking as a sport can be likened to a sportsman paradise.It is very important to be well equipped when you go hiking. Remember that most hiking trails cover many different terrains, some of which are easier to navigate than others. Always ensure that you have the correct equipment with you at all times.
One should never replace the normal, healthy diet with all the potions and powders that are available in the health food stores. Vitamins, protein powders and pills should not be substituted for healthy eating.

The consumption of certain foods has come into question over recent years due to the hormone content. Products such as meat, chicken and even fish need to be consumed in moderation. Dairy products are also on the receiving end of criticism. Many believe the cows milk is not fit for human consumption and should only be given the the calves. On the other hand, milk has been drunk by humans for many generations, but perhaps it was purer then, when no hormone enhancement was used in order for cows to produce more milk.

Another useful item to carry would be a flare in case of any accident or emergency. One can also be armed with a mobile phone, a direction finder and a compass. Binoculars are also good to have on hand in order to keep a close watch on your surroundings.
