7 BODYBUILDING HEALTH SWAPS
I get it, you want to get big. So do I!
But the current modern bodybuilding world is full of garbage that is not only not as healthy, but it actually doesn’t make you more muscular.
The healthier you are, the more muscle you can build.
The better your digestion, the more nutrients you absorb.
The more natural your life, the better your results in life.
So here are some of my favorite swaps to make to be healthier in the way we eat, hydrate and act in our bodybuilding journeys.
• Protein shakes -> raw milk
• Dry cooked chicken breast -> raw beef
• Pre workout drinks -> espresso and honey
• Artificial hydration -> coconut water
• Steamed microwave broccoli -> raw sauerkraut
• Jug of plastic tap water -> spring water in glass
• Working out indoors -> working out outdoors
what other healthy swaps have you changed in your fitness life?
