🔄 Recovery: The Foundation of Healthy Living
Recovery is the foundation of healthy living and depends on two main factors:
• Food choices - Your body can only absorb ~20g protein per hour
• Quality sleep - Minimum 7 hours needed
Protein Digestion Times:
- Whey protein: Fastest absorption
- Fish: 2-3 hours
- Eggs: 7 hours
- Red meat: 7-10 hours
⚠️ Key Rule: Exercise and digestion are mutually exclusive! Wait 2-3 hours after eating before working out.
💤 Sleep Tips: Avoid heavy meals before bed and reduce screen time for better recovery.
