A member asked:

What are the best fruits/vegetables/food/vitamins for muscle health if you are in a period of working out often? weight lifting, push ups, etc.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Spinach and beans: Building muscles requires iron (spinache) and protein (beans). Also needed is sugar for energy to lift those weights. In general a well balanced diet with a litte extra protein should work well. Extreme body builders will need more.
