Diet & Nutrition

While it might be an easy sell; the benefits of proper nutrition in a fitness program cannot be overstated. All caloric intake comes from one of three sources: protein, carbohydrates, and lipids (fats). By getting more of those calories from protein rather than the others, you will find that it takes a shorter time to recover after a workout. By extension, taking a naturally sourced multivitamin, you might find that it becomes easier to stay awake during the day or stay focused on your work. Furthermore, if you can find sources of essential nutrients in food, then maintaining proper nutrition can become an effortless and worthwhile advantage to hold.

Here you will find articles and selected readings to familiarize yourself with a few basics on nutrition and where to find those nutrients.
