@plantpoweredpicks: Eating plant-based can speed up recovery after a workout in several science-backed ways 🌱💪: 1. Anti-inflammatory power Plant foods are rich in antioxidants and phytonutrients (like vitamin C, E, and polyphenols) that help reduce muscle inflammation and soreness after intense exercise — faster recovery, less pain. 2. Improved blood flow Nitrate-rich veggies (like beets, spinach, and arugula) boost nitric oxide, improving oxygen delivery to muscles, which helps you perform better and recover faster. 3. Cleaner protein repair Legumes, tofu, tempeh, quinoa, and lentils provide all the amino acids needed for muscle repair — without the saturated fat or cholesterol that can slow circulation and recovery. 4. Faster glycogen replenishment Plants are naturally high in complex carbs, which are key to rebuilding glycogen stores (your body’s fuel) after a workout. This helps you bounce back with more energy. 5. Better hydration and electrolyte balance Fruits and veggies (like bananas, oranges, and leafy greens) are loaded with potassium and magnesium, which support muscle function and prevent cramping. #PlantBased #vegan #health #Running #exercise
