Food is medicine! It provides fuel and nutrients for all parts of your body. What we eat before and after our workout is important for energy sustenance, building strength and power, repairing muscles, preventing injuries, and promoting a healthy mind, body and heart. Try adding in the following superfoods for peak performance.
1) Brown Rice: Its carbs give you energy, while the fiber keeps you feeling full. Avoid cramps by giving yourself about an hour to digest before a workout.
2) Pineapple: Snack on this fruit after your workout. It’s loaded with bromelain, which acts as a natural anti-inflammatory that could accelerate muscle repair.
3) Greek Yogurt:(plain) The calcium in this yogurt keeps bones strong, helping to ward off stress fractures, and the protein assists in quicker muscle recovery.
4) Peanut Butter: This food is high in muscle-fueling protein and healthy fat for sustained energy. Spreading a tablespoon on whole grain toast pre-workout will power you up.
5) Berries: Eat all berries, fresh or frozen, for their antioxidants that work to help promote a healthy heart and might even decrease soreness.
