Despite the fact that you might be enticed to avoid the calories, please don’t. You can suffer low blood sugar if you do not eat before a workout, which can eventually lead snacks to light-headedness and weariness. You workout will not be the same if you don’t have your pre-workout meal, rather it would be a waste. You can workout even more efficiently if you fuel correctly.
Following are the 5 best snacks that you can eat an hour prior to your workout:
Oats slowly release carbohydrates into your circulation system because they are packed with fiber. This gradual flow maintains you energy levels during the exercise. Moreover, oats contain vitamin B that help as an agent to convert carbohydrates into energy. It is recommended to have a cup half an hour before hitting the gym.
Bananas are natural energy bars. They are full of digestible carbohydrates and potassium. Both of the nutrients help in keeping up muscles and nerves function. Our body don’t has the ability to store potassium for a long time therefore taking a medium sized banana before going for workout can help you to maintain your nutrient level high.
Bananas are particularly good for morning workouts. Taking a medium sized banana with half cup of curds before half an hour of the workout is highly recommended as your body require protein and starch for exercise.
A great source of carbohydrates can be a slice of wholegrain bread also. You can make it more tasty and nutritious by spreading some honey, jam or boiled egg slices. Nutritionists suggest taking some bread with turkey slices before 45 minutes if you plan to go to the gym during your lunch break. It is good to take 15 to 20 grams of protein and 30 grams of carbohydrates during the day time.
A study was conducted in July 2015 by the American Physiological Society in which a sample of a few healthy individuals was kept under observation.
Individuals who took beet juice for 15 days continuously were observed to show even more endurance. The natural nitrates from the juice widen blood vessels and even better blood flow, carrying more oxygen to muscles which facilitates a lesser burden on the heart. Arugula, celery and spinach are a few other foods with high nitrate concentration to name a few.
Yogurt especially Greek yogurt is full of high-quality protein and fruits are packed with carbohydrates. Protein doesn’t become fuel for a workout soon by breaking itself down, however, the carbs in the fruits break themselves fast, and afterward, the protein is utilized to help avoid damage harm. Nothing could be better than starting your day with a Greek yogurt bowl and fruit.
Before a workout, avoid raw sources of carbohydrates like candy or raw sugar, as sugar rush, can be caused by such food which can eventually lead to a crash during workout. Also, avoid fatty foods as they make the stomach work very slowly and make you feel full and you could cramp up. Beware never overeat before you workout. Eating an excessive amount can result in nausea, sluggishness and vomiting
