Here is a lowdown on the best foods to eat pre and post a workout or even if you are training for a race/ marathon. Your body is in recovery mode when you exercise, so you need a nutrient dense dish or food regime. Remember, carbohydrates are engine for your muscles and the harder your engine is working, the more carbs you need to keep your body moving. Protein is vital to help build and repair. So get an amalgamation of protein and carbs, optimal nutrition in your body an hour to three hours pre-workout and within approximately 20 minutes post-workout.</p>
<p>For gearing up for workouts, carbs can safely be your best friend forever. Remember to have a motley of complex and simple ones so that the release of energy during your workout is slow and steady through your exercise routine. Exercising on empty stomach can make workout seem harder and result in low energy levels. </p>

<p><b>â¨â¨Carbs to Increase Energy:</b></p>
<p>â¨Most important part of any workout is to consider and be selective on the food you choose to bring on your plate and what purpose they serve before and after you finish your sweat dish. The idea behind your pre-workout snack is to replenish your muscles with energy and power so that you can make the most out of your workout and speed up your gains to increase your fitness and strength. Let’s check out some of the best pre-and post-workout snacks and find out how should it look like. â¨</p>
<p>Nutritionist and Diet expert of Gympik, Sujetha Shetty says, <i>“Carbohydrates are essential for your body as they break down into glucose and provide the energy required during workout.”</i> Simple carbohydrates break down and get digested faster to supply energy. Consumption of carbs after an intense workout session helps replenish the carbohydrate shortage in the body and starts recovery process to maximize the overall benefits. It is important to eat within 15-30 minutes after your workout so that the repair process starts and your body can rejuvenate faster. </p>

<p><b>Protein to Repair Muscles:</b></p>
<p>Sujetha says, <i>“Protein helps repairing your muscles, promote muscle synthesis, and generates an anabolic environment in your body. It also helps prevent muscle catabolism and muscle breakdown during workouts”.</i> A balanced and substantial source of protein in pre-and post-workout snacks helps recover muscles and promotes muscle growth and recovery. Moreover, people who perform high intense workout sessions should add protein in their pre-and post-workout snacks according to the intensity of the workouts to ensure optimum benefits obtainment. </p>
<p><b>Hydrate Yourself</b></p>
<p>The importance of hydrating body cells cannot be ignored. It is essential to guzzle down fluids before, during and after any workout session since it not only hydrates cells but also cools down the body temperature during workout. Sujetha says, <i>“To hydrate your body before workout, keep sipping water or fruit juices. Also, depending on the intensity of the workout you might need to drink water but remember not to gulp too much water at one go.”</i> To replenish the lost fluid, drinking water after workout is equally important. If you are into any kind of training or sports you might be suggested to take sport drink or protein drinks that contain potassium, sodium, and magnesium to boost rehydration.</p>
