Eat Like an Athlete

Post Workout

Many people focus so much on what to fuel their bodies with before exercising that they don’t consider the after. This can result in poor, hunger-induced choices that can hinder performance in the long run. After a workout, it’s important to give your body the nutrition it needs to help build strong muscles. Protein helps muscles recover and strengthen after an intense workout, so refuel with lean meats or low-fat Greek yogurt. Don’t forget to drink plenty of fluids, too!
