Post-workout nutrition

in life •  7 years ago 

The body deals with nutrients differently depending on the activity you give it. For this reason what you consume before, during and, above all, after training is important. In fact, it should be noted that if you take into account the type of nutrients that are consumed after training, your body composition, performance and recovery in general, will improve.

When we train intensively, we consume a lot of energy and we damage our muscles with micro-breaks of fibers. We achieve our goals when we train intensely in a constant way: we become stronger, thinner, more muscular ... However, after exercising, the body needs to recover energy and rebuild the micro-breaks.

To rebuild them a process called protein synthesis occurs. This consists of breaking down damaged old proteins and building new ones. During training, the body breaks down muscle proteins and, at the same time, increases their repair. Therefore, muscle growth will depend on the ratio of synthesis and protein breakdown.
