Whether you’re are an experienced athlete or a beginner, every time you exercise you put an immeasurable amount of stress on the body. This is why it’s so important to optimize your recovery, and the best way to do so is by eating. Food helps replenish energy and rebuild muscle. After exercising, your metabolic rate remains elevated, which in turn boosts energy absorption and speeds muscle repair (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov).

Research has found that consuming carbohydrates and proteins immediately after exercise is very beneficial. A study revealed that muscle glycogen synthesis was 44% faster and protein synthesis was 300% faster if you ate a snack containing protein, carbohydrates, and fat after working out at a moderate intensity for 60 minutes.

In a nutshell: don’t forget to get a snack after sweating it out. It’s essential for your body to get a dose of carbohydrates, protein, and fat in order to start its recovery process. This will get you pumped and ready for the next training session. It might be hard at first, but if you make a habit of consuming the appropriate nutrition after workouts, you’ll improve your performance and you’ll become an overall better athlete.
