Are you a bodybuilder who works non-stop in the gym (training), the kitchen (cooking and eating) and the bedroom (sleeping – Get your mind out of the gutter), but can’t seem to see the results you should be seeing ? of such efforts? A commonly overlooked factor that can make a huge difference in your fiber success patterns. Let’s look at 4 reasons you can benefit from fiber!
Health
It is difficult to maintain a stable gym schedule if you are always sick. A high fiber diet is also rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, and all the other factors that keep the young coach healthy. Remember, you punch your immune system every time you train. Fiber and the foods it comes from will help your central nervous system recover faster.
Digestion
Fiber moves food through your body at a rapid rate, affecting the absorption of nutrients from the food you eat. It also allows you to feel better: Does anyone really enjoy training with a brick of white bread on their stomach while lifting? Your abdomen can remain empty and lean during your workouts, and you will sleep much better too without that kind of load on your intestines!
Food volume potential
If you are a bodybuilder looking to build mass, add size and strength, and generally grow, then fiber is your friend. The foods you eat will move through your stomach and intestines faster when you eat them with fiber. This leaves room for new foods. If you are forcing your body to devour these meals every 3 hours, fiber can be your best friend in preparing the body for this!
Real vs supplemental foods
There are fiber supplements available to the bodybuilder that can allow you to reach your daily fiber baseline goals without consuming too many fruits and vegetables. Additionally, the amount of protein that the average bodybuilder consumes can also lead to a situation where constipation occurs. Fiber to the rescue! Don’t become dependent on fiber supplements for your normal digestive processes. Take a break from them every now and then to make sure your body can still function normally without their help.
Bodybuilding is important, but your health is much more important. Eat fiber in natural and supplemental formats, and visit a doctor from time to time. Good luck and happy training and food!
