De-stress!
As much as it may stress you out just to think about exercising, once you actually start working out, you’ll experience less stress in every part of your life.
High-protein snacks
Nuts are rich in heart-healthy unsaturated fats and supply a dose of protein without any added sugar. An ounce of almonds, pecans, cashews, walnuts or peanuts contains between 3 and 7 grams of protein. Nut butters, such as peanut or almond, also contain a healthy serving of protein.
Too much sugar does this!
Eating too much sugar causes a barrage of symptoms known as class metabolic syndrome 5. These include weight gain, abdominal obesity, decreased HDL and increased LDL cholesterol levels, elevated blood sugar, elevated triglycerides and high blood pressure.
What to eat on rest days?
Carbohydrate is the body’s primary fuel for endurance training, therefore on easier training days, less carbohydrate is required. This may mean that only one meal (e.g. breakfast or lunch) needs to be carbohydrate-based.
Hormones and fitness
Hormones can have a massive effect on the body and how it functions, so reaching optimal levels is crucial for developing your desired physique along with having more energy and a higher libido. Testosterone, perhaps the most widely known hormone, is responsible for helping trainers put on more muscle and recover faster from workouts.
