Whether you’re just starting out on a health kick or you’ve been following an exercise routine for a long time, you’ll know that what you eat before and after your workout can have a big impact. Tom Bennet, Head Chef at MuscleFood and nutrition specialist, has shared the best foods for the job.
Ahead of your workout it’s all about “fuelling up” for the task ahead, Chef Tom advises. He states that the best way to do this is by enjoying a small portion of carbohydrates between one to three hours before your workout.
Following a workout Chef Tom warns that a protein shake alone won’t be enough to support your body’s recovery. Instead he recommends adding antioxidant-rich foods such as blueberries to your post-workout shake for increased benefits.
