1. Vitamin B
The body uses these to convert protein and sugar into energy and to produce red blood cells.
Athletes with low levels performed worse during high-intensity exercise. (according to
research published in the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism)
(Includes vitamins B6 and B12, thiamin, riboflavin and folate)
Sources: Tuna, Black Beans, Lentils, Peanuts
2. Calcium
The calcium significantly increased athletes’ bone density — and a strong skeleton is key for
any high-impact activity.
Sources: Milk, Yogurt, Fortified Cereals
3. Vitamin C
-It may not be a cure for common colds, though it’s thought to help prevent more serious
complications. Benefits may include protection against Immune system Deficiencies,
cardiovascular disease etc.
Sources: Oranges, Strawberries, bell peppers
4. Vitamin D
In a new study from Newcastle University in England, patients reported less fatigue after
receiving a dose of vitamin D. Without enough of this nutrient, the mitochondria in muscle
fibers can’t adequately regenerate energy after your muscles contract, making you feel tired
more quickly.
Sources: salmon, trout, egg yolks
5. Vitamin E
Strenuous exercise increases production of harmful substances called free radicals, which can
damage muscle tissue and result in inflammation and muscle soreness. Antioxidants such
as vitamin E can reduce this damage by neutralizing free radicals before they can damage
the body.
Sources: Sunflower seeds, almonds, peanut butter
6. Iron
“To help your muscles work efficiently, you need to pump some iron “
Most of the iron in the body is found in the hemoglobin of red blood cells and in the
myoglobin of muscle cells. Iron is needed for transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Sources: Beef, eggs, spinach, broccoli
7. Magnesium
Getting enough magnesium can accelerate recovery processes. Magnesium fights
inflammation, raises antioxidant levels, and helps replenish energy stores in the muscle.
It also calms the central nervous system, lowering heart rate and enabling restful sleep.
Sources: dark leafy greens, almonds, halibut
8. Potassium
There’s a reason marathoners grab a banana after crossing the finish line: Its high potassium
content helps nix cramps and speed up recovery. The mineral works with sodium to help
your muscles and nerves work properly and to balance the fluids and electrolyte levels in
your body. And since steady fluid levels help to regulate your heartbeat and prevent muscles
from cramping.
Sources : Sweet potatoes, bananas, avocados, tuna
and then focus on a post-workout meal. Meal should consist of a moderate to high amount
of carbohydrates paired with protein
