Here is a collection of healthy foods, benefits they provide and tips when you should specifically be eating them. This list is a work in progress. When possible I've included the source of my information. Remember I am not a doctor, and only you and your doctor can judge what's right for you.
Food:
Watermelon:
Is rich in L-citrulline, which affects the body's nitric oxide system. Nitric oxide can increase blood flow, oxygen and glucose transport, and lactic acid removal. Therefore, eat watermelon after a tough workout and you will be able to train harder and recover faster. SOURCE-M&F Hers Jan/Feb 2014 pg 30.
Drinks:
Black Tea
Will sooth skin after shaving. Press a cool tea bag on red skin that's just been shaved, may provide relief from razor burns. Will also enhance tanned skin. You can rub your skin with a black tea soaked sponge, or submerge yourself in a tub full of black tea. SOURCE M&F Hers Jan/Feb 2014 pg 34
