If you are a person that train or do any physical activity, you should know what to do before a workout and what to do after a workout, to impact your progress and results.
Exercises are part of my healthy habits, I do it in a conscious way. I am sharing some tips to help you to have energy during your workout and to recover fast.
Pre workout:
- Prioritize getting enough good quality sleep.
- Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!
- Before I go to train, I alternate daily some drinks to boost my energy like:
- I drink one cup of matcha green tea with one spoon of bee pollen or
- Matcha green tea with Maca, a natural superfood that can enhance your strength; Inca warriors consumed it before battles to make them strong.
- Also I drink a green juice to don’t go to train with my empty stomach because I train in the morning. Green juices provide you fiber, hydrate you, highly alkalizing.
- Consuming Beet juice with fresh orange juice may boost stamina and improve blood flow.
- One tablespoon of L-carnitine, It’s formed in your liver and kidneys and made from two essential amino acids (lysine and methionine). It helps the body turn fat into energy.
Post workout:
- Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!
- Stretch well to reduces pain and risk of injury also to eliminate lactic acid and to increase flexibility.
- Consume enough protein, powder, plant based or if you eat animal protein try to eat sustainable fish and free-range eggs or chicken. Its environmental also less toxins for your body. I use VEGA protein, I do plant-based smoothies with superfood that are antioxidants like goji berries, blueberries or acai.
- Eat Amino acids like Bee Pollen help the body build protein, which is vital to building and growing new muscles. Also helps recovery fast after workouts. I add it to the smoothies, fruit bowls, oat meal.
- Don’t forget Fatty acids like almond butter packed with omega 3 are important to reduce inflammation and muscle stiffness, build muscle and burn fat. I add it to my smoothies, on a gluten free toast or with fruits like figs, strawberries and banana.
