One of the reasons why I love Brussel sprouts so much is because of how much Brussel sprouts benefits bodybuilding. They contain a chemical compound called sulforaphane, which sustains muscle mass and increases muscle recovery speed after a heavy workout session. I include these delicious veggies in my diet whenever I can, and they taste amazing in the air fryer!

One of the easiest ways to boost your health and increase protein intake is to drink a shake! I tend to add some berries for flavor and increased antioxidants, but in a pinch, you can just mix protein powder and water. I also have a piece of peanut butter and toast every day. It's just something I love!
