Eating a healthy breakfast is important on the days when exercise is on your agenda. Skipping breakfast can leave you feeling lightheaded or lethargic while you are working out.

“Consume any small snack at least 20 to 30 minutes before the workout, which leaves time for digestion,” says Vivi Xu, Fitness Specialist, Dr. Neem.

During the day of the workout, it is also important to eat proteins throughout the day.
