What I should eat before going to the gym?
A 1-cup serving of bananas has 23 percent of the daily recommended amount of potassium, and the fruit's sugars and starches help give your body the energy it needs for a thorough workout at the gym. For variety, drink a glass of orange juice with half of a banana or eat a banana with a smear of peanut butter.
