Many people make sure that they stick to their workout routine. However, they pay less attention to their diet. It is important for you to include fitness foods in your diet to get the most out of your routine.
Dried Fruit
High in natural sugar, many dried fruits are chock-full of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Eating dried fruit can boost energy both before and after a workout, and can help with regularity.
Spinach
Spinach can help keep muscles strong, potentially even boosting muscle performance by encouraging muscles to use less oxygen.
Sweet Potatoes
Full of potassium, iron, and Vitamin C, sweet potatoes can be mashed, baked, or even souffled – just be careful what you add to them!
Watermelon
Watermelon contains the amino acid L-citrulline, which can aid in a variety of bodily functions, from reducing muscle weakness and fatigue to increasing energy and improving athletic performance.
Bananas
Packed with many essential nutrients, including fiber and potassium, bananas are the ultimate fitness food. Those feeling adventurous can even eat the peel, which contains brain- and body-boosting vitamins and minerals!
Cherries
Cherries are great post-workout food because they reduce muscle pain and damage. Studies suggest that nutrients in cherry juice can even help to reduce post workout pain!To learn more about fitness foods, contact THE MAX Challenge of Randolph, NJ.
