Nutrition

Whether you're working out at home or in a gym nutrition is just as important, if not more so, than the actual exercising itself. It vital to fuel your body with everything it needs to be bigger and stronger for it's next session for exercise or weight training.

Proteins:

Obtaining your daily protein intake can be hard to reach, especially vegetarians. There are many supplement on the market. We have a dedicated website describing Hemp Protein Supplementation which can be viewed at www.hempprotein.co.uk and Liquid Eggs which can be viewed at www.liquideggs.co.uk

Carbohydrates (carbs):

Ensuring you are eating the right carbs at the right times will aid you in recovery is many ways - Complex carbs found in foods such as rice, potatoes, pastas, wholemeal breads etc... are great for long term energy. Complex carbs are recommended as your main source of carbs and particular usual several hours before strenuous exercising.

Simple Carbs such as sugars, maltodextrin and Waxy Maize Starch are in a form which is readily digested by the body and is processed very quickly. These come mainly in the form of sugars including some fruits. These are best avoided as your main energy source but are ideal during and after strenuous exercise to rapidly get your body in repair mode. See Why Carbohydrates re Important

Fats:

Fats get a bad press in the media, but for the wrong reasons. Fat technically doesn't make you fat (excess calories does) and is an excellent energy source offering over double the amount of energy found in carbs and proteins. Avoid saturated fats but good healthy fats are vital to optimum health.
