Muscles for Nothing, Strength for Free
Article Abstract:
Gaining muscle strength is possible between workouts because the body needs protein and carbohydrates two hours before exercise and within a half hour after a fitness session ends. The human body's growth hormone, which is needed for muscle development, increases when a meal of carbohydrates and protein is consumed at least two hours before a workout. It is critical not to eat too late because undigested food hinders growth hormone production. After exercise, a diet with protein, nutrients and carbohydrates restores muscle filaments, eliminates lactic acid and carbon dioxide from muscles, and refuels muscles, respectively.
