“Southern Fruit” BOOSTS Workout Benefits!
Exercise can be a double-edged sword.
You know how good it is for your heart, your waistline, your mood, and so much more.
But it can also cause a tremendous amount of inflammation in your body.
That’s one reason why it’s good to rest between workouts to avoid injury and boost recovery.
But you can also help boost your recovery and performance by loading up on nutrients that help your cells recover properly.
One “southern fruit” has been proven to reduce inflammation and boost athletic performance in athletes.
And it can work for you too – regardless of the intensity of your workouts.
You know that citrus fruits like oranges help boost your immune system and fight common colds.
But it turns out they could be the workout fuel you’ve been missing — and it’s all because of a key nutrient called hesperidin.
Hesperidin is a type of flavonoid that has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
For this study, researchers divided 40 amateur cyclists into two groups: one took a 2S-hesperidin supplement (500 mg/day) for 8 weeks, and the other took a placebo.
These individuals trained for 6-12 hours per weeks, so their workouts were fairly intense.
After putting them through a battery of tests, the researchers found that the group taking hesperidin had improvements in their:
- Oxidative status
- Antioxidant capacity
- Inflammatory status
Just as importantly, based on these improvements, the athletes experienced improved performance and recovery.
You can get plenty of hesperidin from citrus fruits like oranges, grapefruit, lemons, and tangerines.
Whether you’re going on a brisk walk, light jog, strength training or really kicking it up at the gym – Try adding freshly squeezed lemon to your water for a boost while you’re working out.
You can also take hesperidin in supplement form.
