Staying physically fit requires a lot of discipline and determination. The key to achieving a stronger, healthier self is following the right nutrition tips and sticking to a strict workout routine.

If physical fitness is one of your new year’s resolutions, here are some sports nutrition tips to help you achieve your goals:

Maintain a daily diet log

Keeping track of your daily calorie consumption in a diet diary or food journal helps you get a clearer picture of what you ate, when, and how much. If you want to see how your diet and emotions are connected, keep a food and mood journal where you record your emotions after every meal. When you count the calories the next day, you’ll be surprised at how much you actually consumed. This will also show how close you are to achieving your weight or health goals.

Understand what you'll need before working out

Eating small meals frequently throughout the day will give you adequate fuel for short workout sessions (around an hour). However, you might want to hold off on eating until after you've finished working out if you're prone to digestive problems.

If you need a little extra energy boost before hitting the gym, consider drinking energizing fluids like Motiv-8 New Burn V2 Sugar-Free Pre-Workout Cherry Lemonade. The green coffee bean in this fat burner helps curb sugar cravings, rev up the metabolism, and keep blood sugar levels stable.

Repair and restore muscle power with glutamine

Essential for muscle growth and repair, glutamine supplies the body with the amino acids it can’t produce on its own. Glutamine is often used by athletes to improve strength and endurance since this is an abundant protein-building block in skeletal muscle tissues.

Moreover, this amino acid’s special molecular structure lets it cross the blood-brain barrier, helping it reach and nourish critical brain tissues. When it reaches the brain, glutamine is broken down into glutamic acid, which your body needs for a well-functioning nervous system. To add this amazing ingredient to your workout routine, mix a few drops of our Swanson Ultra- L-Glutamine Powder into a glass of juice or water and have it once a day.
