Olive Oil & Whey Protein for Athletes

At its most basic level, olive oil provides energy essential to athletes. While non-athletes only need about 15% of calories from fat, athletes are recommended to have 20-30% of their calories from fat. Olive oil helps athletes build energy above and beyond what is gained from carbohydrates. It is also anti inflammatory which helps in muscle recovery. It helps convert cholesterol to testosterones which is critical for muscle building.
The USDA recommends 25 ml (2 Tbsp.) of olive oil each day. This amount is sorely lacking in western diets. In powder form, your body absorbs these healthy fats better than a glob of oil.
Whey protein plays a critical role in building lean muscle while increasing fat loss. Protein also helps moderate blood sugar while helping the body and muscles recover faster after exercise.
