Nutrition lays the molecular foundation for fitness and health. This is why it is the base and largest building block of the fitness pyramid. What we put in our bodies is reflected in how we feel, function, perform and yes, in our appearance. Proper nutrition won’t only help you get closer to the way you want to look but more importantly it can help with many other health markers like blood cholesterol levels, blood pressure, vitamin deficiencies/toxicities along with bone density and joint health.

You can improve your sleep quality, prevent chronic illnesses like diabetes, change your body composition and increase your performance in the gym through proper nutrition. Changing your habits with nutrition and lifestyle outside of the gym should be your focus to maximize your time inside the gym.
