Not only the type of food but also how you eat it is important.

Muscles play an important role in supporting the body and maintaining balance. Muscles naturally decrease after the age of 40. Especially if you do not pay attention to diet or exercise, the rate of decline accelerates.

Regular exercise and diet play a crucial role in the smooth functioning of muscles. Natural foods and exercise are ways to maintain muscles safely without taking supplements. So, what kind of foods do strength training specialists actually eat?

According to the American men's health magazine 'Men's Health,' renowned strength training coach Jeff Cavaliere, who runs a professional fitness center called 'Athlean-X' and a YouTube channel of the same name, shared his favorite foods and their muscle-related benefits through a video.

The foods recommended by top trainers to maximize overall health, well-being (Chamsal), and muscle growth capacity are as follows.

Cruciferous vegetables = Eating cruciferous vegetables breaks down glucoraphanin, which is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent. Broccoli and cauliflower are definite choices, but turnips, watercress, kale, cabbage, bok choy, and radish are also good.

According to Cavalier, who emphasizes low-fat proteins, what you eat is important, but how you eat it also deserves attention. For example, when preparing chicken dishes, it is better to use cooking methods that preserve the nutritional value of the protein itself rather than opting for cream sauces.

Eating fried chicken does provide protein, but it also includes batter, cheese, and other ingredients. He advised, "You should think not only about whether you're consuming protein but also about how you're eating it."

Blueberries = Cavalier cites research indicating that regularly consuming blueberries not only reduces oxidative stress in muscles but also leads to an increase in muscle precursor cells. He states, "This means that muscles recover faster between workouts." Blueberries are rich in vitamin C and potassium and are also known as powerful anti-inflammatory agents.

Orange-colored fruits and vegetables = pumpkin, mango, sweet potato, carrot are all sources of carotenoids that eliminate oxidation, which causes cell destruction and premature aging. Cavalier says, "One caution is that excessive consumption can lead to carotenemia." This occurs when vitamin A levels increase. When the skin on your hands begins to turn yellow, you should reduce your intake.

Ginger = Cavalier says, "For me, ginger is one of the best ways to minimize muscle soreness after intense exercise." The anti-inflammatory effects of ginger on the entire system are also important even for people who have never lifted weights.
