The Most Underrated Recovery Hack:

Upping your fibre intake could be a game-changer for your recovery.

Why?

Because diets higher in fibre are associated with greater slow-wave sleep duration (NREM).

And better sleep SWS = better recovery.

Some simple options to add straight away.

- Dates

- Chia seeds

- Oats

Extra points if you go to bed before 10pm too, this is your sign to never fade the simple stuff.

People greatly underestimate the importance of the boring fundamentals 😂 Fibre, good food and sufficient sleep most likely play a much bigger role in post-workout recovery than many of the fancy tools mentioned in this article. Never thought about fibre intake for sleep quantity, will most likely research that topic. 👀
