Foods for Different Parts of Your Day

For a Tough Workout:

  • Drinking java an hour before exercises increases endurance during workouts
  • Drinking low fat chocolate milk after exercises helps repairing and strengthening muscles as it has an ideal protein-to-carb ratio

Before a Presentation:
  • Eating oatmeal will settle your nerves, as it keeps your blood sugar stable
  • Eating oranges will provide you with the vitamin C that will reduce the stress hormone cortisol



To Get in the Mood:
  • Eating chili peppers stimulates your libido in two ways
    • It fools the body into thinking it's in pain, thus flooding the brain with endorphins 
    • It speeds up blood flow, thus enhancing pleasure




Before Bed:
  • Eating bananas, which contain tryptophan, will put you in the sleepy mood



Love,
ALPHA
