Sleep Right, Eat Right
November 12, 2023
Your body keeps on doing it’s thing, even when you’re asleep. Some stuff slows down—like thinking—while other things speed up, especially the healing process. A smart move for your body i shitting the hay with a not-too-full stomach.
This way, you won’t wake up starving in the middle of the night, but you also won’t be so stuffed that it’s hard to stay asleep. Plus, if you’re not overly loaded with calories, they’re more likely to be used up during the day instead of turning into fat overnight. It’s all about striking the right balance.
Choose a light, balanced meal with good nutrients. If you were strength training in your last gym session, then focus more on proteins and less on carbs, then give your body a chance to put all that to work and give you results.
Finally, it’s important to create a sustainable and repeatable routine for rest and recovery. That way it becomes second nature to your body and mind, and you effortlessly flow from waking up with an urge to exercise, efficiently flow through your sets and reps, have inexplicable cravings for exactly the diet your body needs, and then automatically fall asleep at the same time.
