Fitness and Nutrition Q & A

Why are fitness and nutrition important?

Fitness and nutrition are crucial because they help your body work at its best. Staying active strengthens your muscles and supports heart health while also giving you more energy throughout the day. Eating nutritious foods nourishes your body and keeps your immune system strong and your mind sharp.

How do fitness and nutrition work together?

Fitness and nutrition are closely connected because your body needs the right fuel to perform and recover. Your body primarily needs three macronutrients:

Carbohydrates

During a workout, your body burns energy, primarily from carbohydrates. Without enough carbs, you may feel tired and struggle to maintain intensity. After exercise, your muscles break down and need protein to repair and grow.

Protein

Protein repairs and rebuilds muscle tissue after exercise. Muscles experience tiny tears during a workout, and protein provides the building blocks (amino acids) needed to heal and grow stronger. Without enough protein, your body can’t effectively repair itself, which can lead to muscle weakness and slow recovery.

Fats

Healthy fats support recovery by helping to regulate hormones and reduce inflammation. Fats also provide a long-lasting source of energy, especially during lower-intensity activities. Including fats like avocados, nuts, and olive oil in your diet can aid in overall recovery.

Over time, poor nutrition can lead to muscle loss, decreased performance, and a higher risk of injury. Eating a balanced diet gives your body the fuel to recover and rebuild.
