Different lifestyles = different nutritional needs
For weight control we may require nutrition that: Is calorie controlled, providing a balance of nutrients without excess calories. Has good levels of protein and fibre to help us feel fuller for longer. Helps to regulate energy levels to avoid the energy peaks and troughs that can lead to unhealthy diet choices and poor nutrition. Start each day with a healthy breakfast and try to eat 4 or 5 smaller meals a day. Herbalife provide personalised nutrition intake.
For a physically active lifestyle or sports person may require a nutritional plan that provides additional good quality calories and nutrients to replace those used or depleted in exercise. Exercise drains nutrients from the body, can you gain them from fruits and vegetables alone? Workout nutrition offers sustained energy and effective hydration to fuel performance. Provides good quality protein to build and repair muscle and aid recovery. Provides complex carbohydrates for slow and quick energy release:
What food to eat before a workout?
There is a need to fuel up before a workout. Top up your fuel tanks with healthy carbohydrates. Skipping breakfast is common by those that exercise in the morning, but carbs are needed after an overnight fast. Consume a meal low in fibre and fat, as they take longer to digest, especially if you have less than an hour before your workout. A Herbalife24 Formula 1 Sport shake is easy to digest and highly nutritious and can be consumed 60 to 90 min before any workout. The workout shake provides sustained energy, supports the immune function and maintains muscle mass. Or use Formula 1 Standard or Formula "Free From" before a workout? See full range of pre-workout shakes.
What to drink during a workout?
Electrolytes are vital because various cells in the body (especially nerve, muscle, heart) use them to maintain voltages across their cell membranes and to carry electrical impulses such as muscle contraction. When you exercise heavily, you lose electrolytes in your sweat, particularly sodium and potassium. These electrolytes must be replaced to keep the electrolyte concentrations of your body fluids constant. Drinking water, especially during strenuous exercise or training, is not always the best way to replace lost fluids because it dilutes the existing electrolytes (salts) inside the body's cells and interferes with their chemical functions. Pure water intake during exercise also causes bloating and stimulates urine output which makes it less effective when exercising. As little as 2% fluid loss during exercise or mild dehydration can significantly harm your performance. increases the risk of suffering from the negative effects of dehydration such as headaches, fatigue and cramp. Use Herbalife24 Hydrate during a workout for low calorie hydration. Contains bioavailable electrolytes for rapid body fluid restoration and B Vitamins support carbohydrate metabolism. See full range of electrolyte drinks.
What do drink after a workout?
Have you had your shake after you're 24fit workout?! “Important! Don't skip your protein shake after you exercise and think that you'll save calories! A protein shake after training accelerates lean muscle growth, which in turn revs your metabolism and burns more fat. Ideally aim for at least 20g of protein that includes Leucine (an amino acid that boosts lean muscle growth - found in Herbalife 24's REBUILD range!” . Or if your using the existing range, then a combination of Formula 1 and 3. The optimum time for taking the shake is within 30 mins of exercise. Also avoids you eating something unhealthy, as you're starving hungry!
The recovery diet should be rich in two macronutrients: lean protein and complex carbohydrates. The ratio depends whether it is a metabolic workout or strength workout. It's important to get the right nutrients back into the muscles within 30-60mins of a workout to build stronger and better muscles after breaking them down during exercise.
Herbalife24 Rebuild Endurance - use after any metabolic or aerobically demanding workout. It helps reduce recovery time, restores glycogen and rebuilds muscle.
Herbalife24 Rebuild Strength - use after any strength or power workout or as a high protein snack through the day. It helps to rebuild lean muscle, provides sustained amino acid delivery and supports the immune function.
Or if your using the existing range, then a combination of Formula 1 and 3. What many clients do, is to have a sip of their shake before the workout(getting some fuel in the engine), then the remainder of the shake afterwards.
