Pre Workout Meal India

Pre workout meal India – pre workout meal

Hey guys today's article is part one of a two part series on pre and post workout meal. Now I want to make it clear all of you that these exact concepts apply to everyone irrespective of gender age or even the kind of exercise you're going to be doing. So the topic is Pre-Workout Nutrition: What to Eat Before a Workout

 So you could be lifting heavy weights or you could be going for long runs or you could even be playing a game of cricket in your building compound and the exact concepts will apply to you.

According to me and this is just my opinion but I feel that being fit is primarily about what you eat. The kind of activity you do just sense a path for your body to grow on but your fitness completely depends on the food you're putting into your body.

The key for getting fit is that you need to stop looking at your body just a body and need to start looking at it as a machine. Now if you put dirty fuel like diesel inside of Ferraris engine the engines gonna get spoiled. The same thing applies to your body, if you put dirty food inside it it's not gonna perform to its maximum capacity.

 This exact concept is amplified for the food that you eat around your workout. The food that you eat before your workout especially will affect your performance in the gym or the racetrack or even that game of cricket that you're playing. So consider a timeline that begins and are also before your workout.

The first thing you need in your body is a sufficient amount of protein. Now when you are exercising, when you're lifting weights, when you're running you're kind of constantly causing a bit of damage in your muscles, to repair that little bit of damage you need a steady supply of protein from your body.

 You need to be selective about the kind of protein you're consuming so few eggs or if you  eat egg whites will do its job or even some white meat like chicken or fish and for vegetarians dal, red lentils, puy lentils, chickpeas, split peas, moong beans i.e Pulses  are a very good option. You can also have some sprouts for pre workout meal vegetarian.

 Now there are some precautions you need to take with the kind of protein you're consuming. You can't consume red meats for one because they have a very high fat content and fat tends to slow you down.

Milk base proteins as well because they have a lot of fat and they take really don't will digest it so just slow down your metabolism. So remember red meat and milk products are going to get you very lazy and lethargic and white meat eggs and sprouts are going to get you energetic and active. So in that case you can also go for pre workout vegan meal

 Now we move to 45 minutes to half an hour before exercise and you want to be filling your fuel and with energy. The best source of energy is always carbohydrates.

 There are two grammar rules in selecting your carbohydrate for your pre workout meal

 First is that it should have a low fat content because fat makes you slow and you want to be full of energy and second is it should have a low sugar content.

Sugar gives you a sugar rush which is followed by very low energy levels so the middle of the workout you kind of just sink... Avoid high GI fruits because they have a  very high sugar content so you want to avoid things like mangoes, pineapples and watermelons.

Good options for fruits in India of bananas and apples. What works even better than fruits are slow digesting  carbohydrates. For now all you need to know is that the best option is a slow digesting carb like brown rice, oats or sweet potato.

These are low GI carbohydrates and your body takes time to break these down. So while you're working out you have a constant supply of slow released energy.

Finally we come to a time frame of around 15 minutes to half an hour before your workout. Now this is actually the least important and it isn't even necessary for most people. This is very lifting specific. Now in order to take your athletic and physical performance to the next level, to improve your coordination all you need is a caffeine boost...!

 So make caffeine  a part of your exercise routine only if you want to take your exercise to the next level. Especially if you're lifting weights or if you have a heavy lifting session caffeine is a very good option but you need to remember not to use milk or sugar in your coffee as that will slow down the absorption of caffeine.

So let me Summarise the food items so that it will be easy for you to understand.
