Citrus and Exercise
During the winter months after January, you can find citrus fruits like lemons, grapefruit, oranges and limes. Many people eat citrus fruits for breakfast and before they exercise – this helps to provide them with strength and energy. Now, you can find citrus fruits being served during other mealtimes as well. A lot of cooks use the juice to place in their food. Fruit salads, fruit juices and fruit smoothies are among the ways you can consume citrus fruits.
Citrus and exercise are two great factors for staying healthy. You need both for different reasons. With exercising, you know you become fit – you gain strength, endurance and speed, depending on the type of exercises you are performing. Then with the citrus fruits, you are eating the proper nutritious foods that provide you with the nutrients and vitamins you need. The combination gives you a double effect because you are taking care of the inside of your body with the citrus and the outside of your body with the exercises.
Picking the right citrus and exercise routines for your daily or weekly habits all depends on who you are individually. What also plays a major factor is what health condition you are in. If you have medical problems, such as asthma, arthritis or high blood pressure, you will want to consume citrus like grapefruit and oranges. They have Vitamins C, A, B (folic acid), phosphorous and potassium, which helps your body function the right way. You will then need to find exercises that aren’t too strenuous for your physical state. If you are just beginning to work out, you will want to go with something a bit simpler and then gradually work your way up.
