Get Physique-a-licious

You have worked so hard and you are feeling kind of weak.

First you should drink water to keep from being hydrated. 

What about the other parts of your body?  Have you really thought about why you eat?  Most people eat to stay alive, some people eat with a purpose.  Are you one of these people?  What are you eating exactly?  Is it helping you or hindering you.

If you are a workout enthusiast then you really need to think about feeding your muscles. 

“What are you talking about you ask?”  Feed what?

You worked so hard to get your muslces toned and looking “Physique-a-licious” that you want to treat them right.  If you are working out hard you are constantly breaking and tearing your tissues so you need to help them repair and grow.

You need to feed your muscles with some really good healthy food.  What kind of food?

Well, let’s start with protein. 

“Proteins are broken down in the stomach during digestion by enzymes known as proteases into smaller polypeptides to provide amino acids for the organism, including the essential amino acids that the organism cannot biosynthesize itself. Aside from their role in protein synthesis, amino acids are also important nutritional sources of nitrogen.”

“Amino acids are critical to life, and have a variety of roles in metabolism. One particularly important function is as the building blocks of proteins, which are linear chains of amino acids.”

With that being said, we need to get help from our foods in order for our tissues and muscles at the cellular to stay alive and build for us.  We have to feed them with good protein.

Here is a link to some great high protein foods.  One rule of thumb to remember for protein is start with “no leg animals, then two legged animals and then if you have to four-legged animals”  to get the most out of your protein.

You can get your protein from some shakes if you are on the run, but I personally like to get my protein from the natural way. 

Do not go without feeding your muslces, because they will like a “gang” start turning on themselves and eating off of your own body to get the energy it needs to perform your exercises.  Gross! 

Feed your muscles for ultimate performance and get that “Physique-a-licious” body you desire.
