Food is vital. Have a healthy and balanced diet, it is also to preserve its muscles. Each food has a specific function on the body, in this case on the muscle fibers. They represent a significant basis for hydration.

There are good sources of plant and animal protein found in white and red meat, white and fatty fish, peanut butter, cooked white rice, etc. which maintain and strengthen muscle tissue.

Carbohydrates are the source and reserve of energy for the muscles, they are found in cherries, clementines, pineapples, bread, cooked pasta, cereals …

The carbohydrate and protein content of all of these foods varies.

Foods rich in carbohydrates will compensate for the loss of energy. Proteins promote cell renewal in muscles, thus ensuring their repair, especially when they undergo microlesions.

A food sufficient in carbohydrates and proteins but also healthy and balanced, regular and adapted, strengthens the muscles while protecting them from the risks of aches.

Remember to always hydrate, it’s essential!

The overconsumption of carbohydrates and proteins is harmful to health, do not hesitate to get information from a health professional or a nutritionist.
