Don't Forget Fats: The essential fats, like Omega 3s, contribute to hormones that act as anti-inflammatories in your body. “The right kinds of fat help you recover from workout,” says Lisa Dorfman, M.S., R.D., C.S.S.D., a sports nutritionist who works with the tennis teams at the University of Miami. “It’s just about training and recovering.” To make sure you get the right fats, put avocado or mayo on your sandwich at lunch, eat fish for dinner twice a week, or have snacks of trail mix or walnuts.
