Why can't you eat oil and salt for fitness?
(1) Oil: Foods containing a lot of fat, such as potato chips, French fries, hamburgers, hot dogs, corn flakes, etc., are consumed after fitness, which is equivalent to wasting the previous exercise effect. The fat in these foods is difficult to digest. What needs to be supplemented after exercise is glycogen, not increasing the body's stored fat.

(2) Salt: Foods with high salt content will reduce the potassium content of the body, thus slowing down recovery. Potassium is a mineral and plays an important role in cell activities. Because of exercise and sweating, the body loses a lot of electrolytes, so it is not advisable to take too much potassium because of eating foods with too much salt.

Extended data:

Eating too little or eating unevenly will directly affect the exercise effect. Low carbohydrate intake directly affects human energy supply. If you eat a low-carbohydrate diet for three days in a row, you will obviously feel physically weak. But not eating meat is even more uneconomical. Lack of protein will reduce basal metabolism and make you obese.

Carbohydrates are mostly taken from coarse grains. Protein chooses beef, chicken, fish and shrimp. The fat source can be olive oil and nuts rich in unsaturated fatty acids. Fruits and vegetables should be fresh.
