How to Stay Youthful?
What to eat before a workout?
Your pre-workout meal should contain a balance of protein, carbs, and fat. Because:
- Protein: Stimulates muscle protein synthesis, which aids muscle growth and recovery.
- Carbs: Provides your body with glucose, which is your muscle’s main source of energy during shorter workouts and high intensity exercise.
- Fat: Provides fuel for your body while doing low to moderate exercise.
When to eat before a workout?
For best results, aim to eat 2–3 hours before your workout – This gives your body time to digest the nutrients and make them available for use during your workout.
Here are some examples of meals to eat 2–3 hours before a workout:
- Lean meat with veggies and brown rice
- A Whole grain sandwich with eggs, avocado, and a side of fruit
- Oatmeal with peanut butter, blueberries, and a protein shake
If you are eating 45–60 minutes before your workout, bear in mind that the meal should be smaller and simple to aid digestion and absorption.
Here are some examples of meals to eat 45-60 minutes before a workout:
- A banana or apple with nut butter
- A blueberry and banana protein smoothie
- A hard-boiled egg and toast
If you’re in a hurry, it is still fine to eat at least 30 minutes before a workout, instead of a meal, consider the following as your snack options:
- Greek yogurt and fruit
- Nutrition bar with protein and wholesome ingredients
- A piece of fruit, such as a banana, orange, or apple
Avoid eating too much food before a workout, as it may cause stomach discomfort, bloating, feelings of lethargy, or nausea during your workout.
Don’t forget about water!
Your body needs water to function. Good hydration has been shown to sustain and even enhance performance, while dehydration has been linked to significant decreases in performance. It is recommended to consume both water and sodium before exercise – this will improve fluid balance.
