Recent research suggests that active people who are low in B
vitamins (such as B6, B12, folate and riboflavin) do not perform their best and
may have trouble building muscle and producing oxygen-carrying red blood
cells. During hard training, you should
load up on B nutrients, which are essential in converting proteins and
carbohydrates into energy and for repairing cells, by consuming plenty of whole
grains, dark-green leafy vegetables and low fat dairy (if you consume dairy
products). You can also take a daily
multi-vitamin to ensure adequate amounts of B vitamins or start the day with a
fortified cereal if pill supplements aren’t your thing J
