Fruit in Bodybuilding Diets

Fruit is a vasodilator and should be eaten before any intense workout. Vasodilatation increases blood flow throughout your entire body to ensure the proper amount of blood present in the muscles that are being worked. The incorporating fruit in bodybuilding diets helps to offset the effects of the vasoconstrictors that are present in bodybuilding supplements. Any fruit that is high in carbohydrates, potassium (bananas) or vitamin C, and electrolytes (oranges) are good choices to start off in bodybuilding diets.
