🏃♂️ Pre and Post-Workout Nutrition Basics
Proper nutrition timing around exercise involves three key phases:
Before Working Out:
- Complex carbohydrates for energy
- Protein for muscle support
- Adequate water for hydration
- Healthy fats
During Exercise: Your body uses these nutrients for fuel
After Working Out: Protein becomes especially important for muscle recovery and repair
A practical way to apply this is through smoothie-making, combining ingredients that support your workout goals. Understanding these basics helps optimize your exercise performance and recovery, whether you're a beginner or experienced athlete.
