Having a healthy body and mind is the
basic requisite of a man or a woman and those who realize this the most
prefer to gym religiously. But there is always another side of a coin
and most gym-goers seem to undermine that.
This
kind of fitness routine demands an expenditure of both physical and
mental energy on your part and your diet regime should be in sync with
it. Many ignore not because they want to compromise their health but
because they are poorly-informed. Here is how.
What
you eat before a workout prepares your body for the stress during
exercise and the meal after that is responsible for muscle building and
body repair.
Getting the right dose of carbohydrates
prior to work out and protein meal post workout is essential. Most
gym-enthusiasts just gobble too much of protein.
But
have you ever given a thought to the risks loaded with the protein
supplements? Ever wondered they are damaging your kidneys? Are there any
alternatives to these supplements? There are many, and for most you
don’t even need to jump from shop to shop.
Organic Banana Wafers
Banana
is a rich source of potassium, fibre and carbohydrates. Organic banana
wafers in addition to being full of these nutrients has an advantage of
remaining edible for a longer period of time. It makes your diet all
the more healthy and devoid of all artificial chemicals, pesticides and
fertilisers used in the cultivation of non-organic bananas. Go for a
baked variety rather than fried ones to get your daily dose of
carbohydrates pre-workout.
Oats
Oats
is a cereal that is loaded with the goodness of dietary fibre and is
commonly eaten as porridge or in baked products. It gives you a sense of
satiety, reduces hunger and helps to control inordinate cravings seen
in people working out in a gym.

bread maintains all the protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals the wheat
kernel naturally provides. The health benefits include a decreased
risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, obesity,
and colorectal cancer.
A recent study
conducted in U.S. men and women found that for every 28 grams of whole
grains consumed per day, there is an associated 5% reduction in total
mortality and a 9% reduction in mortality from cardiovascular disease.
Whole grains are also linked to slim waistlines and better long-term
weight management.
Cashews
are a source of proteins and essential minerals like copper,
calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc. They also
contain vitamins such as vitamin C, B1 , B2 B3 B6, folate , E and
vitamin K. They have a healthy heart, strong nerve and muscle action and
good bone and oral health to their asset.
Walnuts
apart from bearing resemblance to the surface structure of the brain
and aiding in one’s intelligence are also known to improve body stamina.
They possess significant amounts of proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins
and minerals making them a better choice over supplements to aid in
weight management.
