Great Foods to Choose for Muscle and Strength

We make a lot of food choices in our daily lives. Some of us are great at making healthy choices based on our individual needs. If you are trying to build muscle and strength here are some choices that should take the guesswork out of  the equation. Here are your smart choices.

Almonds are absolutely wonderful as long as you keep the amount to 20 and under. The L-arginine in almonds can help you burn more fat and carbs in the gym. A quarter-cup of raw almonds has eight grams of protein and is high in magnesium, which boosts energy and endurance.

Bananas are an excellent source of  glucose (for quick energy) and high in potassium (which can prevent cramping.) A medium banana has around 36 grams of good carbs. The carbs are slowly released in your body. It would be an obvious choice for pre workout  snack.

  1. I eat it all. Fruits and vegetables are on my table every day. I just ate tangerine and banana. With lunch, like a salad, I eat cabbage, carrot and beetroot. Also, I bake peppers, I peel them, and spice them with onion, oil, vinegar and salt. This salad is great for cold, winter days.
