These Are The Best Pre-Workout Foods Which You Can Boost Your Stamina
Many of us go to the gym empty stomach. If you are exercising on an empty stomach, you might not have enough energy to work out. We need to have pre-workout meal 30-45 minutes before workout.
Carbs are digested faster than fat or protein. If you eat too much fat or protein or even a large-carb meal two hours before a workout, it will drive blood flow to the stomach, not the muscles. Carbs are rapidly used up during a workout, generally in the first 25-30 minutes. Then, the body burns fat as the fuel to keep going.
Therefore, having a pre-workout snack is extremely important. Let’s find out what you should eat before your workout.
