What should you eat before, during, and after your workout

Image
What should you eat before, during, and after your workout to maximize muscle growth and body composition? This question refers to what's called peri-workout nutrition , which just means the timing of nutrients around a workout. Let me start by saying that, while I will be giving detailed meal examples in this Blog , it's important that we start with what the science actually says about this question in the first place: Why does peri-workout nutrition matter at all? Well, in a now infamous paper titled Nutrient Timing Revisited , Aragon and Schoenfeld challenged the classic view of post-exercise nutritional intake with respect to anabolism. Many science lovers took this single paper to be the nail in the coffin for the bros' now-outdated anabolic window concept. Apparently, nutrient timing didn’t matter after all. Well, it turns out many of the science guys may have jumped to conclusions a little too quickly. Because even in this very paper, the authors suggest that pr...

Whether you're trying to get fit, build muscle, or you're just tired of the couch, here are some changes you can expect along the way.

Mitochondria are the parts of your cells that co...

  Want to start your morning with something simple and nutritious? 1: Eggs are the best option. They are full of protein and healthy fats, which keep you full for a longer time and help in weight management while giving you sufficient energy. A study published in the Journal of American College of Nutrition shows that when eggs are eaten at breakfast, the total amount of daily calories consumed decreases. Additionally, egg yolk contains antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, which prevent eye disorders and improve vision. Eggs are also one of the best sources of choline, an essential nutrient that stimulates brain development and improves liver function. Prepare omelets, scrambled eggs, or boil them — whatever the way you like — and pair them with whole-grain toast or sautéed vegetables. Your delicious breakfast is ready. 2: Oatmeal It is rich in carbohydrates, fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals — making it a perfect morning food. With just one cup of oatmeal, you get 13 g...

7 HEALTHIEST FOOD YOU CAN EAT

Image
  Let’s talk about the seven healthiest foods you can eat. Now, the question is: what makes a food healthy ? To figure that out, we must also look at what foods make us sick, and what things in general can cause illness. As you might already know, insulin is at the top of the list. So, any foods that raise insulin—because your blood sugars are now raised—would not only inhibit your health but also make you ill. Foods that deplete nutrients will make you sick as well. Therefore, we want nutrient-dense foods that enhance nutrient absorption. One important factor is low carb. Now, two food components that don’t trigger insulin or create an insulin response are fiber and fat. As for protein, the leaner it is, the higher the insulin response. For example, whey protein and low-fat lean protein really create an insulin spike compared to fattier proteins. So ideally, we want a higher fat-to-protein ratio, with nutrient density in mind. In addition to vitamins, minerals, and essential ...
