Recovery Meals, Hydration, and Micronutrients

Combine a fast-digesting protein with easily tolerated carbs and a little color for antioxidants. Think Greek yogurt, honey, berries, and granola or rice with eggs and salsa. Share your fastest recovery meal under ten minutes.

Start the day with water plus a pinch of salt, sip during training, and finish with electrolytes on sweaty days. Keep a bottle by the rack. Tell us your hydration hacks, and we’ll feature the smartest ideas next week.

Prioritize leafy greens, colorful fruit, dairy or fortified alternatives, and omega-3 sources. These support joints, immunity, and sleep. What micronutrient-rich side do you add to every dinner to feel the difference the next morning?
