Pre-Workout Nutrition Tips
Eating the right foods before exercise can significantly affect performance, especially for individuals with sensitive stomachs. Focus on easily digestible carbs and moderate protein while avoiding high-fat meals that can cause bloating.
The Role of Probiotics
Incorporating probiotics into your diet can enhance gut health, improve digestion, and potentially reduce symptoms of IBS. Foods such as yogurt, kefir, and fermented vegetables can be beneficial.
