When you're trying to get ripped, your diet is just as important as the exercises you do. Without the right nutrients, your muscles will not grow properly and you may be causing your body harm by working out and not giving it the vitamins and minerals it needs. Eating right isn't always easy, but luckily for the fitness buff, working out may make you more inclined to eat healthy.
Researchers from Harvard University discovered that exercise affects parts of the brain that are connected to impulse control, which can lead to making it easier for you to turn down that afternoon doughnut.
"In time, exercise produces a potentiating effect of executive functions including the ability for inhibitory control, which can help us to resist the many temptations that we are faced with everyday in a society where food, especially hypercaloric food, is more and more omnipresent," said researcher Miguel Alonso Alonso.
This suggests that before stating a diet, individuals may want to consider working out more. This could help stick to their new healthy eating plan.
