Introduction: A proper diet not only provides the necessary nutrients for exercise and helps the body recover, but also reduces the risk of muscle cramps. On August 20, the UK's "Ladies First" website published an article summarizing 5 foods suitable to eat before exercise, as outlined by a nutritionist.
Almonds. Eating a handful of almonds before exercise can supplement 15 important nutrients such as vitamin E, potassium, dietary fiber, and calcium, to fully nourish the body. Research has also found that almonds are relatively low in calories.
Banana. Bananas are rich in potassium. Eating one before exercise can reduce the risk of muscle cramps during physical activity.
Whole wheat bread. It balances protein, carbohydrates, and essential fats to provide energy for the body.
Yogurt. Adding a handful of blueberries to yogurt can prevent muscle free radical damage caused by excessive exercise.
Apple. Apples are known as the "all-around healthy fruit" and are rich in nutrients such as organic acids, dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals, polyphenols, and flavonoids. Additionally, apples have a moderate sugar content, making them very suitable for consumption before exercise.
