For athletes, the most important thing is how to increase stamina, or quickly eliminate fatigue and restore physical strength after exercise.
Once oxygen enters the body, it enters the bloodstream through the alveoli to provide oxygen to cells throughout the body.
When food enters the body, it is converted into glucose, which is oxidized with oxygen to produce the energy the body needs.
When exercising, the body needs a lot of energy and consumes a lot of oxygen, which is about 30 times higher than that at rest.
Oxidative reactions in the body also produce large amounts of free radicals, especially after prolonged exercise.
Free radicals will attack cell membranes and glands, killing various cells, resulting in muscle fatigue and decreased physical strength.
Therefore, only by removing harmful free radicals can we eliminate fatigue, increase stamina and restore the vitality of the body.
These 12 foods have strong antioxidant capacity, can effectively scavenge free radicals, accelerate muscle repair, and increase the body's stamina and endurance:
Blueberries, strawberries, dark chocolate, walnuts, turmeric, broccoli, green tea, tomatoes, garlic, mulberries, pomegranates, beans.
