Health and supplements for Muscle Mass Training

For you to get the best results from your workout, your body needs all the necessary vitamins and minerals as well as necessary levels of major components of the diet being proteins, carbohydrates and lipids. These are referred to as the 'macro-nutrients' of the diet as they are consumed in much larger quantities, where as the 'micro-nutrients' being vitamins and minerals are consumed in much smaller quantities.

It is true that the majority of the micro-nutrients are already present in the food types that make up the macro-nutrients, but hard-training bodybuilders do require much more than food can provide in terms of the micro-nutrients which can be eliminated from foods through cooking. In addition, with the stresses of training the body feeds on a large amount of the micro-nutrients in growth and repair of body tissues, and higher levels are required at amounts that could not be supplied by food alone, and so are taken via a few pills from a health-food store.

The important question is what to take and when during the day. A good time in the day to take a multi-vitamin and mineral supplement is during the first meal of the day and this meal SHOULD be breakfast. If you are inclined to miss out breakfast then you really are working against yourself in terms of any lean muscle mass gains that you would otherwise make if you did have a good breakfast on a daily basis. After you have been asleep for a good number of hours, on waking up your blood sugar level is low, and the body is at the point where it has to start accessing materials to raise blood sugar levels and this ALSO means that your muscles can be accessed to raise blood sugar i.e. the muscles are being broken down (catabolised) in such a way that is the exact opposite to what we have in mind which is building muscles (anabolism) i.e. BODYBUILDING!

Therefore, as you can see, a good breakfast is a very important meal, and along with milk to drink, an egg-white omelette with a couple of yolks only (using about eight or ten egg-whites is a good basis for a great breakfast; for instance, you can add complex carbohydrates by having some boiled rice with your omelette, and indeed, complex carbs are another important part of breakfast and boost blood sugar levels steadily as they are digested).No making the excuse that a good breakfast takes too long to make, because it doesn't!

If you dont have a very big appetite in the morning then just grab a banana, and don't worry, as your appetite can be your guide, and will increase as you gain weight as you need to nourish new muscle tissue. You will also benefit from extra vitamin B-complex and C supplementation, as they are soluble vitamins and are used up quickly in general tissue metabolism especially when your muscles are growing !!!

So, it would be a ideal to have a go at supplementing with aditional B-complex and C vitamins in the morning and before going to sleep, and prior to your daily workout. When using high levels of vitamins like these, remember to consume extra fluids such as bottled water on its own or mixed to make up sports drinks. And remember that optimum hydration is a must to get rid of waste products from the body tissues that lower levels of fluid intake may not accomplish.

Train hard and be strong !!!
