The seven best foods to build muscle mass

-

PTo maintain “muscle mass, strength and power, it’s not just about the quantity of food you eat, but also its quality”, says Rob Hobson, a nutritionist, quoted in Men’s Health. This means that you must pay attention to the macronutrients – proteins, carbohydrates and fats – that you consume.

For example, “protein is critical for muscle growth and repair; it provides amino acids, the building blocks of muscle tissue,” he explains.

“Carbohydrates replenish muscle glycogen reserves, which are crucial for sustained energy and effective recovery”, he adds. Healthy fats play an important role in reducing inflammation and supporting overall muscle health.

Taking this into account, the specialist advises that you include specific, very healthy foods in your diet. Consult the list.
