Recover Well

“The recovery snack is one of the easiest things that help our body recover, yet it is often overlooked and forgotten. Three things need to be considered regarding recovery: fluids, healthy proteins, such as pistachios, and carbohydrates. All of these work in unison to keep the body strong and hydrated,” says Bryan Snyder, Director of Nutrition.

Scott Sehnert, Director of Sports Performance/Sports Dietitian adds, “consuming sufficient amounts of quality protein every 3-4 hours promotes optimal recovery of muscles from intense training and for the injured muscle.  The quality protein sources I recommend to athletes include nuts like pistachios, dairy, and lean animal proteins.”

Be Consistent

To maintain optimum performance, develop a solid plan that includes post-exercise recovery and consistency during both scheduled workouts and everyday endeavors. Snacks like pistachios not only serve as fuel but also can aid in recovery, which is essential to any wellness journey.
