Whether it's walking the dog, lifting weights in the gym or training for your next 10k challenge; supporting your exercise regime this autumn starts with the right nutrition. Consider these key nutrients to support your energy, muscles and joints:
Glutamine- this is stored and used by the muscles of the body and is often taken as a supplement post exercise
Protein - Protein is important because it provides the amino acids your body
needs to build and repair muscle. food sources include chicken, eggs, and nuts. Alternatively you can add a scoop of protein powder to your smoothie
Magnesium- If you exercise regularly, you need to ensure a
good intake of magnesium. Magnesium helps the muscles to relax after your
workout, which counteracts the role that calcium plays in contracting the
muscles during activity
