Natural Muscle Repair

I am sure everyone who works out has some idea that your body needs certain things to repair muscle.

Creatine is king , yeah I am sure you have heard that its a steroid or it's just temporary, however your muscles need creatine to repair itself. Creatine is part of your skeletal muscle system and basically it supports healthy muscle activity.

How to get your creatine supply without dishing out cash for supplements, well its simple, if you eat meat then you are taking creatine. Fish and meats all have a high amount of creatine. Normally you need roughly 5 grams of creatine monohydrate and thats the equivalent of 5 -7 pounds of meat or fish. Creatine is more effective in foods when the foods are eaten raw because the cooking denaturalizes the creatine making it not as effective. So if you like sushi, you are on the right track. Taking about raw foods, there is also this great raw foods diet plan, check it out. However, meat and fish is not the only way to get creatine, your body also naturally synthesizes creatine from the amino acids available such as methionine, arginine and glycine which are obtained through other foods.

Now for those who want to increase their creatine levels the easy way, eat more sushi, sashimi and fish. If that is a challenge then i would recommend thinking about creatine supplements.
