Healthy Insoluble Fiber

Part of a healthy diet, fiber is the part of plants that your body does not digest. The two types of fiber are insoluble and soluble fiber. Insoluble fiber does not dissolve in water while soluble fiber does. Eating a diet high in fiber reduces the risk of heart disease, regulates blood sugar levels, aids weight loss and normalizes bowel movements.

How to Structure Post-Workout Meals

A post-workout meal is just as important as the pre-workout meal. Providing the right type of fuel at the right time aids in recovery from the workout and helps to prepare your body for the next session. The refueling process starts with a 200- to 300-calorie snack ideally containing a 4-to-1 ratio of carbohydrates to lean protein -- 16 ounces of 1-percent chocolate milk. Consume the snack within 30 minutes after finishing your workout.
