Adequate daily intake of fat can prevent fatigue, improve endurance, and increase athletic performance. In addition, adequate water and electrolytes are essential.

If you eat these carbohydrates directly before exercise, it is easy to cause stomach discomfort and the release of energy too quickly. It is also important to add some protein and fat 1-2 hours before exercise to prolong satiety and provide extra energy. Supplementation every 30-60 minutes during exercise is essential. It is recommended to choose foods or drinks that are high in sugar and sodium, such as sports drinks, energy bars, fruit, etc. This can provide timely energy and electrolytes.

Also choose foods containing unsaturated fatty acids, such as Greek yogurt, avocados, etc. 3-4 hours after exercise and then eat a rich meal, to ensure that the body gets a full supply of nutrients. Night sleep is also an important period of physical recovery. Eat a protein and carbohydrate-rich light meal 2-3 hours before bedtime, such as chicken breast, bread, milk, etc., can continue to release nutrients during sleep, accelerate muscle and physical recovery, so that you wake up the next day full of energy.
