Health Notes
Disclaimer: I am neither a doctor nor a nutritionist,
so these are only recommendations based on informal knowledge and what
has worked for me in the past. For proper nutritional recommendations,
please consult a doctor or a nutritionist.
-
To accelerate the repair of muscles, increase your intake
of protein. One of the easiest ways without tripling your intake of milk
is to get the powdered protein from health food stores that you can mix
into a shake after workouts.
-
To decrease leg cramp, increase your intake of dolomite
and bone meal.
-
For stronger bones, take a calcium and magnesium supplement.
-
In general, a daily multi-vitamin-and-mineral supplement
is essential when you are working out regularly.
