What are Amino Acids? You Need Them When You Exercise in Quarantine

Image
Since we’re all more or less still in lockdown, we can spend more time exercising at home or outdoors (but stay away from other people). As your exercise regimen is done almost daily, you need more protein for energy and muscle upkeep. In fact, you will need specific types of proteins or amino acids for more exercise energy and muscle recovery.   Amino Acid Chains Proteins are made up of 20 amino acid chains. Nine of these essential amino acids cannot be produced by the body and need to be taken from our daily diet.

Forget the fancy labels and the latest fashions. When it comes to workout clothes, wear those that are comfortable, suitable for indoor or outdoor workouts, and may offer some protection during this time of the pandemic. And believe it or not, when you are sweating, the clothes you wear can make a difference in how you feel after exercising.   Choose “work” fabrics Some fabrics are designed to pull sweat away from your skin while others absorb it.

These fabrics neither absorb sweat nor allow it to evaporate. This will keep your...

Some people apply it to their daily routines, while others think of it as a hoax. What makes a single apple change your day? Fitness Network Australia explains to you why.   Apples are fruits rich in antioxidants, fibre, and phytonutrients that support the immune system and assist in weight loss. Apples also contain Vitamin C, Potassium, and Vitamin K. The good thing about eating an apple is that it aids digestion and promotes hydration. But there are also plenty of fruits that are rich in nutrients, like avocados – which contains the good fat, bananas – can lower blood pressure, grapefruits – for weight loss, pineapples – anti-inflammatory, papayas – rich in lycopene, and so much more.
