Recovery is a daily practice, not a post-workout event

Most people treat recovery as something that happens after training. In practice, the way you eat, hydrate and sleep across the whole day determines how well you adapt.

Magnesium supports muscle relaxation and sleep quality; most Indian diets fall short of the recommended intake. Pumpkin seeds and a well-formulated electrolyte are two easy corrections.

Protein should be distributed rather than concentrated: 25–30 g across three or four meals outperforms a single large dose.

And hydration is the multiplier. Even mild dehydration measurably reduces strength output and increases perceived effort the next day.
