Are you choosing the best pre-workout foods to maximize performance and recovery? Find out which nutrients may be missing! If you think downing your pre-workout beverage is the best way to maximize your workout and stimulate muscle growth, you're only half right.

Skimping on either before hitting the gym can lead to subpar performance. What's more, some pre-workout food choices are far superior to others. My hunch is that you want to know what those foods are, so check out these top 10 foods. In...

Allergies, Digestive

by Lindsay Sheehan Gluten – which means “glue” in Latin – is a family of proteins found in cereal grains like wheat, rye, and barley. It is created when two cereal proteins, glutenin, and gliadin, join together. This bond is what makes dough elastic, allows baked goods to rise, and gives bread its chewy texture. Although gluten is one of the most widely consumed proteins around the world, and humans have been eating wheat (and gluten) for at least 10,000 years, the rate of gluten-related disorders has quadrupled since 1950. And, as of yet, no one can explain with certainty why we are seeing a sudden rise of sensitivities to gluten-based foods. To say that gluten is a complex and controversial topic is a huge understatement. Depending on...
