Can wheat enhance your workout and recovery?
Looking to fuel your workout? Foods made with wheat are an excellent source of energy, dietary fibre and healthy nutrients to keep you moving!
Find out how to fuel your workout with Nicole Osinga, a registered dietitian who specializes in sports nutrition. Nicole shares advice on what to eat before and after a workout and why foods made with wheat are a great choice.
Wheat is an excellent source of complex carbohydrates that will keep you fueled while providing a steady release of energy throughout workouts. Nicole recommends reaching for pre-workout meals or snacks made with enriched wheat flour, like bagels or tortillas that will give you a source of energy while being easy to digest.
When it comes to refuelling after your workout, choose fibre-rich options, like whole wheat pasta, couscous or bread. The fibre will keep you full and satisfied, while helping rebuild muscle tissues and replace the energy stores burned during your workout.
Wheat foods are a great addition to your workout routine because they provide complex carbohydrates, fibre, protein, and a variety of vitamins and minerals.
