Food has many delicious benefits. One of those benefits is helping your body recover from various forms of physical activity.️ To help decrease muscle soreness and refuel your muscles after a vigorous workout it is beneficial to… EAT FOOD.

Yes, we can get into the nitty-gritty of protein, carbohydrate, and fat ratios for optimal recovery but there’s no need to over-complicate it unless you are an elite, competitive athlete. Simply put, eat food that has all three!

Find post workout foods that:
Contain a variety of nutrients
Taste delicious
Make you feel good

Stop overthinking it

If you tried various forms of recovery and listening to your body and still feel…

• depleted during a workout
• constantly sore
• like you’re under-eating protein

Then reach out to me! I can help!

Also, hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.

• Drink plenty of water before, during, and after your workouts.
• If you don’t have a reusable water bottle that you use through the day, go treat yourself
• After a super sweaty workout, your body has lost a lot of water and electrolytes so be sure to include electrolytes (e.g. eat a banana) post workout
