First of all, people should have a balanced diet. A balanced diet for people who are pursing muscles should include adequate calories, enough carbohydrates, high quality protein and proper hormones. The growth of muscles requires a large amount of energy. Therefore, high-calorie food and carbohydrates are badly in need to provide people with enough dextrose and heat.

Meanwhile, a large amount of acidic substances, like lactic acid, are produced. These acidic substances would make muscles tired and powerless.

For example, there are many kinds of sports drinks on the market. Such drinks mainly contain carbohydrates, which can supply energy efficiently. And the complement of dextrose would prevent too much protein from decompounding. These drinks definitely do goods to muscles. For another instance, people can have some protein complements. Whey is the best choice to help muscles cells recover, while soy albumen can be completely absorbed by the human body and is especially good for women.
