Trying to build abs and muscles? Just spending hours at the gym won't help. You even need to pay attention to your diet.
And while we're at the diet part, when you eat is as important as what you eat. In fact, eating the right things and keeping your body hydrated is half the battle won when it comes to building those elusive muscles and even heal muscle tissue.
Here are things you should include in your daily diet...
- Don't scoff at the idea of putting fresh fruits or vegetables on your plate. These items contain essential nutrients that are absolutely essential not only for good health but also for a sculpted physique. Packed with vitamins, minerals and fibre, fruits and vegetables even contain some amount of protein.
- If you're a non vegetarian, include lean meat in your diet. With generous amounts of protein, amino acids and iron, you can be assured of natural muscle growth.
- Low fat dairy items are another important things for you to include in your diet. Have a glass of milk every day and have yogurt regularly as well. These things contain vitamins, calcium, potassium, carbs as well as protein — all essential for someone who is trying to build a physique.
- Other items to to include are eggs, whole grains, nuts and beans. These items contain iron, zinc, amino acids, healthy fats, protein, vitamins, antioxidants and fibre.
