Food to improve your workout performance
Energy stems from food, hence it is important to note which food is an energy booster and which helps in building your body.
Add to that the fact that muscle recovery and performance is directly related to what you eat before and after each exercise session, and you realise just how important workout snacks really are. Today we check out the best pre and post workout snacks that help workout performance, rather than make you put on or lose weight. Note that these snacks and foods are best consumed within your individual diet guidelines. Therefore, if you are following a 2000 calorie plan, then ensure that these snacks fit within the stipulated number. So without further delay, we give you the best workout snacks to improve your workout performance!
What exactly is a pre-workout snack and how does it help workout performance?
For an effective session, what you eat before a workout is important. Carbs are a great source to sustain your energy levels. In simpler words, the energy that is produced from your pre workout snack fuels your exercise routine giving you better performance. If energy is readily available, then the muscles will contract easily, and you will not feel hungry or dizzy after a workout.
Technically, or scientifically, there are three reasons why you need pre workout snacks:
- To reduce muscle glycogen depletion.
- To reduce muscle protein breakdown.
- To reduce post workout cortisol levels.
