6. Almonds
This is one particular food that has so many benefits that most people are unaware of. Almonds are a rich source of alpha-tocopherol Vitamin E. This vitamin is very important for the body as it contains antioxidants that prevent your muscles from being torn out after a workout session. If your muscles are not damaged then chances are you are going to improve more after each workout session. Almonds also contain protein which is also required for muscle growth.
