Fuel Your Living Room Workouts: Essential Nutrients for Home Fitness Success
Micronutrients That Make the Difference
Iron and Oxygen Delivery
Low iron can feel like invisible ankle weights. Pair spinach, lentils, or red meat with vitamin C foods to improve absorption. If fatigue lingers, consider testing with a professional. Share how you combine iron-rich meals at home to keep training crisp.
Magnesium and Muscle Function
Magnesium helps muscles contract and relax smoothly. Add almonds, pumpkin seeds, black beans, or dark chocolate. Many notice better sleep and fewer cramps. What’s your favorite magnesium-rich snack during busy days? Comment your pick and subscribe for a weekly micronutrient spotlight.
