Energize with Almonds
Discover a simple health tip: Fuel up before you exercise. Nutrition expert Keith Ayoob, author of "The Uncle Sam Diet," provides insights on effective pre-workout nutrition.
How to Fuel Up Before a Workout
Balance your meal with carbohydrates, protein, and healthy unsaturated fats about two hours before exercising. This combination helps you feel full while providing quick energy for an effective workout. A great option is a slice of whole-grain bread topped with almond butter and a few slices of strawberry or banana.
Beating the Mid-Afternoon Slump
Avoid salty, high-fat snacks that lack essential nutrients. Instead, choose a handful of almonds to stay fuller longer, both at work and the gym. Just one ounce of almonds delivers heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, protein, fiber, and essential minerals like magnesium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, and iron?"all while adding just 160 calories. Almonds are also rich in antioxidant vitamin E, which aids muscle repair. Research shows almonds may help lower LDL cholesterol and assist in weight management.
