Exercise is the key to overall wellness, but nutrition plays a big role in achieving and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. As it turns out, pre- and post-exercise nutrition can boost the benefits of a workout and support continued physical fitness success.

Post-exercise smoothies are excellent choices for after exercise recovery and nutrition. When making smoothies, consider adding superfoods such as flax seed, hemp hearts, spirulina powder, aloe juice, kale, spinach, berries, almond milk, nut butters, and bananas to the list of ingredients.

Spirulina may not be a staple in your pantry, nor aloe juice in your fridge, but they are both worth adding to your diet. Spirulina is natural algae that is high in calcium, protein, iron and B vitamins. It is also a good source of antioxidants and essential amino acids. Studies show that spirulina may help balance blood sugar and reduce inflammation, the latter of which is helpful for allergy sufferers.

Most commonly used to treat sunburns, the aloe vera plant is thought of medicinally as a topical gel ointment. However, aloe vera juice is packed with nutrients. It contains several vitamins and minerals. Additionally, aloe vera juice aids in digestion and heartburn relief. It may also reduce skin conditions such as acne, psoriasis and dermatitis.

Remember to give your body the fuel it needs to exercise successfully and reap the benefits of the hard work. Though many supplements are available, nutrition is always best served from foods from the earth.
