| Hey Friend,
It's your muscle building coach Lee Hayward here, and in today's e-mail you're going to get a list of my top 3 favorite nutritional supplements. These are the
ones that I use personally year round and consider "must have"
supplements for your overall health and fitness.
Protein Powder:
Your body needs protein, and lots of it. It is the building block of
muscle. Without enough protein in the body, muscle mass will not
increase. During your weight training workouts, your muscles are getting
broken down. In order to rebuild and repair your muscles, your body
needs protein. It is as simple as that.
Protein powder is a really convenient and inexpensive way to get extra
protein in your diet. The general rule of thumb is for bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts to
eat at least 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight per day. Getting
this much protein from food alone can be tough. But by adding a couple
protein drinks per day you'll easily be able to get extra protein in
your diet. In addition to that protein powders are usually a lot cheaper on a gram for gram basis than high protein foods.
When it comes to choosing a protein powder, I recommend a whey protein blend. I have a youtube video explaining the differences in protein powders that you can watch here.
Greens Powder:
Just like how we supplement with protein powder to increase our protein intake, we should supplement with Greens Powder to supplement our vegetable intake. All that good plant nutrition; phytonutrients, chlorophyll, polyphenols,
carotenoids and other antioxidants help protect the body from free
radical damage. Green Drinks are rich in phytonutrients which help support the body's
self defense mechanism, detoxify and nourish the body. A serving of
Greens is the equivalent to 8-10 servings of fruits and
vegetables. You can learn more about greens powder here.
Essential Fatty Acids:
Essential Fatty Acids are the
"good fats". They are important for immune system development, digestive
support, healthy brain function, soft and smooth skin, circulatory
health, and anti-aging benefits. Essential Fatty Acids are necessary
fats that humans cannot synthesize, and must be obtained through diet.
EFA's are long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids derived from linolenic,
linoleic, and oleic acids.
One of the best EFA
supplements is krill oil capsules. Simply take a couple capsules with
each meal. Krill oil is high in omega 3 fatty acids and it is also high
in EPA and DHA fatty acids. These fatty acids are antioxidants and help
with muscle growth and fat loss. They also have health benefits with
anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory effects. You can learn more about krill oil here.
These supplements here are important for your overall health. Even people who are not into bodybuilding can still benefit from taking these 3 supplements on a regular basis.
