Before: Whole Wheat Toast with Sliced Banana and Cinnamon
When
it comes to gearing up for workout, carbs are your gym BFF. The key is
to have a mixed bag of complex and simple ones so that the release of
energy during your workout is slow and steady throughout your routine.
Whole-wheat toast with fruit gives you both types of carbs with the
bonus of being super easy to digest.
Complex carbs will keep your motor humming, while the fruit adds an extra kick of energy. For those training for a race, bananas are perfect in raising potassium levels, which drop when you sweat a lot. For an added bonus, add a dash of cinnamon. The spice has been linked to stabilizing blood sugar and improving brain function.
