Antagonistic pairs are two muscle groups attached at the same joint, that are opposite in placement in function. In combination with other surrounding muscles, these pairs create stability and have a unique interaction - When one of the muscles contracts, the other stretches and relaxes. The main antagonistic pairs of the human musculature are: The biceps and triceps (Yeah, it's your favorite, we know! The front and back neck muscles The abs and spinal erectors The quadriceps and hamstrings The front and back of your calves In your next arm workout, try this - When you come down from a biceps curl, flex your triceps and feel the stretch in your biceps!

The right answer is... A- An Amino Acid! Taurine is an amino sulfonic acid that has been shown to affect mental health, cardiovascular health, and muscle function. The taurine content in food can vary significantly depending on whether it comes from animal or plant sources. The top 3 sources of taurine are - meat, eggs, and fish, but don't worry, taurine is NOT considered an essential amino acid, because the body can produce it on its own! #aminoacids #fitnessmotivations #deficiency #fitnessfamily #fitnessislife #vitamind #essentials #noadditives #nosugar #healing #fitnessislife #nutritioncoaching #nutritionmatters

Though advocated as extremely healthy, plant-based diets are proven to lack essential amino acids, needed for optimal functioning. This is because, unlike animal products, plants have incomplete amino acid profiles, making them generally suboptimal. Nevertheless, if you choose to be plant-based, make sure to combine a variety of grains, legumes, and beans, as they can compensate for each other's lacks and provide a solid amino acid content in your diet! #nutritionfacts #diethacks #diettips #healthylife #nutritiontips #nutritionfacts #gethealthy #healthydieting #weightlossfood #feedyourcells #weightlosssupport
