The
obsession over getting the perfect body has gotten into everyone's psyche.
Thanks to well equipped gyms and easily available home kits, this obsession is
no longer a dream. But the gym trainers and bodybuilders suggest that in order
to build muscles, following a healthy
diet is also necessary. A healthy diet helps to
develop the central muscle mass and burns the extra fat in the body.
Here
is a list of foods you should include in your diet which will help you to gain
muscle:
1.
Eggs: Eggs are rich in proteins and help in overall
development of the muscles, making it a must have inclusion in your dietary
regime. Also, the good cholesterol found in the egg yolks helps to prevent
atherosclerosis.
2.
Nuts: Nuts such as cashews, almonds or pistachios are a
perfect blend of fats, fibres, and proteins. Every ounce of cashew or almonds
contains 150-170 of top-class calories. Daily intake in a small amount will
help you to get the calories without any significant weight gain.
3.
Lentils: Lentils are useful to develop the central
mass of the body. A cup of ready-to-eat lentils has a protein content of 18
grams and an overall content of 40 grams of top grade carbohydrates. A diet
consisting of green salad, lentils and brown rice is recommended by gym
trainers for the development of body muscles.
4.
Spinach: Spinach contains rich amounts of the
amino acid called 'glutamine', which helps in the development of the lean
muscles. Besides, a daily intake of spinach might also help to build the
overall muscle strength of the body.
5.
Apples: Apples contain certain polyphenols which
help to build the muscles and prevent any form of tiredness in the muscles.
Also, polyphenols are also useful in burning the extra fat which makes it an
essential fruit to have before workouts. If you are not comfortable with apple,
you might also try oranges as your pre-workout fruit, which perform more or
less the same function as apples.
