Health and supplements for Muscle Mass Training

To achieve optimim results from training, it is necessary that you must supply your body with all the correct vitamins and minerals as well as enough of the major components of the diet being proteins, carbohydrates and fats. These are called the 'macro-nutrients' of the diet as they are needed in much larger amounts compared to the micro-nutrients' being the vitamins, minerals and other biological substances which are needed in much smaller amounts in the diet than are the 'macro-nutrients', but are found present in different amounts accompanying the macro-nutrients in food.

We know that most of the micro-nutrients are already present in the foods that make up the macro-nutrients, but it has been proven that hard-training bodybuilders need a lot more than food can provide in terms of the micro-nutrients. Taking this into account and the stress factor that the body undergoes during training, a large amount of the micro-nutrients are needed in growth and body tissue repair. Therefore extra levels are required by the body which can not be acquired by food alone, which is where vitamin and mineral supplements come in and should be taken on a daily basis.

These supplements should be taken at breakfast, no doubtedly the most importmant meal of the day, so DONT SKIP IT. After having slept for a few hours, your blood sugar level is low, and the body needs to access materials to help raise these levels. Your muscles can be accessed to raise blood sugar levels which is the exact opposite to what we want which is building muscles (anabolism) i.e. BODYBUILDING!, so Breakfast is now your number one priority.

Therefore, as you can see, a good breakfast is a very important meal, and along with milk to drink, an egg-white omelette with a couple of yolks only (using about eight or ten egg-whites is a good basis for a great breakfast; for instance, you can add complex carbohydrates by having some boiled rice with your omelette, and indeed, complex carbs are another important part of breakfast and boost blood sugar levels steadily as they are digested).No making the excuse that a good breakfast takes too long to make, because it doesn't!

Some people may not have much of an appetite at first, but as long as you eat something good for breakfast (even if it's only a banana), then don't worry, because your appetite can be your guide, and will probably increase along with gains from your training. Why the appetite increase? Because your body has more muscle tissue to nourish as your training progresses.Many people may benefit greatly from extra vitamin B-complex supplementation, and also extra vitamin C. The B-complex vitamins and vitamin C are water soluble vitamins and so are not stored to any great extent within the body, but are used up quickly in general tissue metabolism and VERY much so when your muscles are growing !!!

So, it would be a ideal to have a go at supplementing with aditional B-complex and C vitamins in the morning and before going to sleep, and prior to your daily workout. When using high levels of vitamins like these, remember to consume extra fluids such as bottled water on its own or mixed to make up sports drinks. And remember that optimum hydration is a must to get rid of waste products from the body tissues that lower levels of fluid intake may not accomplish.

Train hard and be strong !!!
