What is the Mediterranean Diet
The Mediterranean diet is more than just a meal plan; it’s a way of life characterised by the abundant consumption of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and healthy fats.
Fish takes centre stage as the primary source of protein, with red meat, pork, and poultry making rare appearances. The inclusion of red wine, in moderation, adds a delightful touch to meals. Fermented dairy products, such as yogurt and cheese, are enjoyed in moderation, while highly processed foods are kept at bay.
What to Eat before and After a Workout
The table offers pre and post-workout food suggestions to fuel the body for optimal performance and aid in muscle recovery. Nutritionist Heidi Skolnik recommends 150-200 calorie snacks. While not needed after every workout, fueling the body is essential for performance and recovery.
