Oysters are packed with zinc, a mineral that enhances the immune system. One large oyster supplies a day's worth of zinc, which also repairs and maintains muscle tissue.

Eat organic and fresh oysters a few times a month!

Use truly natural sources like coffee beans, lemons, orange peels or deodorize with plain baking soda.
A study in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research suggests that people training in compression gear can help build better strength. After powerlifters trained 4 days a week while wearing extremely tight singlets that restrict blood flow to the working muscles, they could squat 35 pounds more after 10 weeks.
