Performance Fact
Kimchi, a fermented food that is rich in both probiotics and fiber, helps to promote a healthy digestive tract. Consuming a diet high in fermented foods enhances the immune system, reduces inflammation and promotes regularity. Additionally, salmon and avocados are excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids, which help reduce the inflammation produced during heavy training.
