🍎 Today’s Health Question ~ What Should You Eat Before Working Out?
What to Eat Before a Workout
Everyone’s body is a little different, but in general, complex carbs and lean proteins make great pre-workout fuel. That’s because complex carbs slowly release glucose to provide steady energy throughout your workout, and lean proteins provide sustaining energy as well. Keep in mind it takes more time to digest protein than it does carbs, keep pre-workout protein consumption moderate. Good pre-workout snack options include oatmeal with berries, hard boiled eggs, a turkey wrap, or peanut butter and jelly on whole grain bread

🌾 Today’s Poem ~ Solitude
Solitude
Alexander Pushkin
He’s blessed, who lives in peace, that’s distant
From the ignorant fobs with calls,
Who can provide his every instance
With dreams, or labors, or recalls;
To whom the fate sends friends in score,
Who hides himself by Savior’s back
From bashful fools, which lull and bore,
And from the impudent ones, which wake.
From the ignorant fobs with calls,
Who can provide his every instance
With dreams, or labors, or recalls;
To whom the fate sends friends in score,
Who hides himself by Savior’s back
From bashful fools, which lull and bore,
And from the impudent ones, which wake.

🌾 Today’s Poem ~ I shall imagine life
I shall imagine life
e. e. cummings
I shall imagine life
is not worth dying, if
(and when) roses complain
their beauties are in vain
but though mankind persuades
itself that every weed’s
a rose, roses (you feel
certain) will only smile
