Juicing Before Workout
Posted August 23rd, 2012
It is very common for most people to refrain from eating prior to a workout. The reality is that our body needs food to energize us before a workout. This is where fruits and vegetables come in very handy as a pre-workout meal. Fruits and vegetables contain complex carbohydrates, nutrients, minerals and vitamins that give the muscles in the body the ability to have a consistent amount of energy that will last through the whole workout.
The best way to get the nutrients from fruits and veggies immediately before a workout is to use a juice extractor. In just seconds, using your juicer, you can consume the necessary nutrients required prior to your workout.
Here is some stamina building juicing recipes to drink before a workout. The main juicing ingredients are carrot and beetroot; both of these veggies contain antioxidants to protect and energize the body during a workout.

1 clove of garlic
1 teaspoon of powdered ginseng (optional)
