The Foods Every Martial Artist Should Be Eating For a Healthy and Strong Body.

We all love food, but the lack of discipline of what goes into our mouths can lead to a weaker body and a plethora of pills that you end up being prescribed by your doctor. Believe it or not, food is medicine. It can give you strength, endurance, aid your cells, boost your immunity, and support your nervous system. People who are conscious of this, stay away from the hospital because their body and mind are getting the fuel it needs to remain active. People who end up going to the doctor's office for matters like, not being able to focus, headaches, lack of energy, high blood pressure, clogged arteries, and body aches, usually are eating the wrong foods. Below, I will talk about some foods that can help you with certain issues that you may be going through or issues that may come up.

Oatmeal is a great source of energy. Before you workout or start your day, it is a great thing to eat, because it sustains your energy throughout the day and through the workout. It also combats stress, boosts the immune system, and is great for the heart.

Eggs nourish the muscles with amino acids and vitamin b. It also supports the nervous system. 

Whey Protein builds and repairs your muscles after an arduous workout. 

Bananas are a great source of potassium. This helps people who suffer from cramps after workouts or onset delayed muscle soreness.

Peanut Butter is another great source of energy. Two tablespoons of this gives your body the protein it needs after breaking a sweat while working out. It is good for the heart, but you want to take it in moderation, because it has a lot of sugar in it. 

That cartoon Popeye was not a lie! Spinach is great because it has multiple benefits. It boosts your immune system, gives you strong bones, aids your digestion, boosts your athletic performance, and makes you strong and healthy.
