What you eat and when you eat can have a big impact. To understand your nutritional needs after a workout session, it\u2019s important to know what happens to the body after you exercise. Working out uses up your muscles\u2019 glycogen stores for fuel and causes little tears, which is why you feel sore. Eating soon after you exercise can help the body recover faster. It\u2019s particularly important to eat carbohydrates and protein after a workout. Doing this can help the body decrease the breakdown of muscle protein, increase muscle protein synthesis, restore glycogen stores, and enhance recovery.\r\r\r\rRemember the ratio of 3:1 (carbs to protein) when deciding what to eat. This ideal combination of carbohydrates and protein can help boost your recovery after exercise.\r\r\r\rHere are some of the carbohydrates and proteins for post-workout meals.\r\r\r\rCarbohydrates\r\r\r\r\rSweet Potatoes\rChocolate Milk\rRice Cake\rOatmeal\rPasta\r\r\r\r\rProtein\r\r\r\r\rEggs\rChocolate Milk\rGreek yogurt\rSalmon\rChicken\rTuna\rProtein bar\rAnimal or plant-based protein\r\r\r\r\rConsuming the right types of proteins and carbohydrates, along with supplementing where needed, can help you take your workouts to the next level.\r\r\r\rSome of my favorite Persona Nutrition fitness supplements are Branched Chain Amino Acids (also commonly called BCCAs), which support lean mass and decrease muscle fatigue. Also, MSM can help decrease muscle soreness and supports a healthy inflammatory response. Astaxanthin is great for the cardiovascular system and joint health.\r\r\r\rIf you want to find the right supplements to support your body before, during, and after workouts, we\u2019ve got you covered.
