The primary fuel source for your body is glucose (sugar). We store glucose as glycogen in our liver & muscles (more than you think!). People argue about burning fat at higher ratios during certain types of exercise, etc, but you are always primarily burning glucose. Consider a car that runs most efficiently on gasoline. Dumping other types of fuel into it is going to add a lot of extra stress on the system and it won’t operate efficiently. Things might even start breaking down over time. Likewise, your body runs most efficiently on carbs. Give it what it wants, and you’ll have more energy to perform & recover, feel better, sleep will improve, etc. @ngnutraofficial is one supplement brand I trust. 2. Timing does matter. Our bodies like to be in homeostasis, or a state of balance. And they will always try to get back in that state. Training and competing are stressors that throw your body out of homeostasis, but lead to adaptation when you provide your body with the resources & time to recover. TIME is critical as an athlete, and we need to optimize every second of it. Consuming carbs & protein as soon as possible after physical exertion jumpstarts that recovery process by providing your body with the tools needed for reparation. Liquids are best. The sooner you can get back into homeostasis, the faster your growth & progress will be. Plus, you’ll be more ready for your next session. 3. Hydration. I think this is something that a lot of people are missing. Think of your body as a giant grid. Communication and information is transferred throughout the grid through electrical impulses. With the right balance of electrolytes and water in your body, these electrical impulses can move like lightning. You’ll think faster, muscles will contract faster, everything will be FIRING. As you sweat, you lose electrolytes & water, so they must be replenished. Not just water, but ELECTROLYTES. I drink electrolytes before and after every session at the minimum. *continued in comments* PC: @operaplacestudio」7月2日 1時13分
