Fitness foods
Overdoing it in the gym can leave you vulnerable to illness. Why? Because you’re stressing your body, which decreases the number of cells in your immune system. But a new Japanese study found that consuming a combination of two amino acids could counteract this side eff ect. The compounds, cystine and theanine, can be found in two of the best foods on earth: eggs and green tea.
WILL YOU WILT?
Don’t worry about missing an occasional workout: You can take weeks off from the gym without losing strength, according to research from Japan. In the study, people followed an exercise program for 3 months and then took a 3-month break. At the end of their hiatus, they were just as strong as they had been before taking time off. Of course, a long leave of absence isn’t recommended: After all, even if you don’t become weaker, your gut will likely grow bigger.
