Prateek Kumar

For breakfast, Kumar suggests eating an egg white sandwich in whole grain bread, chicken steak with mashed sweet potatoes, protein shake fruit smoothie, and tofu wraps with veggies. If a mimosa or beer is on your mind to celebrate, Kumar cautions that it can interfere with your body’s recovery processes and may also contribute to dehydration. “First, replenish fluids and nutrients before considering alcohol consumption, which should be consumed in moderation. A celebratory beer or other alcoholic beverage can be enjoyed, but it’s important to prioritise recovery and hydration.”
