This is a fairly gnarly quote about post exercise hydration. Sweat is comprised of mostly water, but there are all sorts of trace minerals that we lose as we sweat them out. That means, simply drinking water to recover might not be enough. Reducing soreness and improving recovery can be simple. There are two main nutrients we should be looking for post exercise, and we should all know the first one.... - SALT! - Again kinda gnarly, but if you add a 1/4 teaspoon to 16oz of water you'll be improving hydration like crazy and reducing tomorrow's soreness - Potassium - Like most gym bros before me I'd be remiss if I didn't recommend a post lift banana. A more glucose friendly option, that also higher levels of potassium, are humble potatoes! 1 Banana (or a few left over potatoes from dinner) will aid in recovery and energy.

Hope everyone is drinking their water! I’m recovering from a fun St. Patrick’s Day and have been locked in on water 😂 how much water do you drink daily?

Delicious, healthy recipe that makes around 16 tacos! Ingredients: SHRIMP 🍤 - 2lbs Jumbo Shrimp (deveined, peeled) Season with: - 2 teaspoons of avocado or olive oil - 1 teaspoon each of garlic powder and smoked paprika - 1/2 teaspoon each of cumin, chili powder - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper - 1/8 teaspoon of sea salt Once seasoned: Cook in medium-high heat skillet, covered, 2-3 minutes each side SLAW🥗 Chop and combine: - 2 Cups each of green and purple cabbage Season with: - 2 tablespoons lime juice - 1/2 cup diced tomato - 1/4 cup chopped cilantro - Salt and pepper to taste SAUCE🥑 Blend together: - 2 avocados - 2 garlic cloves - 2 tablespoons lime juice - 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar - 1 tablespoon cottage cheese - 1/4 cup cilantro - 1/4 teaspoon each of cumin and red pepper flakes - Salt to taste Only thing that requires cooking is the shrimp and of you want to lightly toast the tortillas. For best tortillas use the same pan as the shrimp after they are cooked, the tortillas absorb some flavor from the seasoning and crisp up nicely. I recommend corn tortillas, they're slightly slower to digest and keep blood sugar lower than most flour tortillas.

Prioritizing nutrition doesn’t have to be flavorless or full of foods you don’t like. Which one of these foods would you like to see a healthy recipe for?
