🏋️♀️ Maybe DONT take antioxidants after exercise
Recent research has revealed something surprising about our post-workout habits. While many of us reach for antioxidant supplements after exercising, this might ACTUALLY be counterproductive.
🔬Here's the science mentioned in the papers:
- Exercise creates beneficial oxidative stress that triggers our body's natural defense systems
- High-dose antioxidant supplements post-workout can interfere with these adaptations
- Studies show vitamins C and E might reduce endurance training benefits
👉 What does this mean for you? Consider:
- Timing your antioxidant intake away from workouts
- Focusing on whole foods over supplements
- Allowing proper recovery between sessions
