Dietary Advice for Workout Nutrition

There is a wealth of research which strongly points to the training and performance benefits of a targeted nutrition programme. Whilst different training and sports demand different nutritional requirements, it may be helpful to follow these principles, as a guide:

1. Ensure that you provide your body with enough energy in the form of carbohydrates prior to your workout. This will help to protect the muscles during training and guard against injury.

2. Make sure you drink adequate amounts of liquid to compensate for the fluid loss during training, which can deplete essential minerals. Carbohydrate-rich drinks can top-up energy levels and protect against exhaustion.
   
3. Post-workout, the body requires a mixture of protein and carbohydrate to regenerate the muscles, restoring glycogen to the muscles. Ideally you should consume your post-workout protein/carbohydrate snack within two hours.

   OmegaFlex EPA and glucosamine capsules for flexibility and reducing wear & tear

For individuals whose exercise regime involves a lot of impact on the joints, OmegaFlex contains the active ingredients glucosamine hydrochloride and pure EPA to minimise inflammation, nourish the synovial fluid and encourage the growth of collagen, in order to keep you flexible and agile, as well as reduce rest periods if you have sustained a joint injury.
