Post-Training Recovery Nutrition

Training takes a lot out of the body.  That’s why it is so important to think about post-training recovery to help your body recover as quickly as possible to be ready for the next workout.  Studies have found that something as simple as a little bottle or cup of chocolate milk can do the trick.  To restore glycogen levels, it is ideal to take in a little bit of carbohydrates within 15 minutes of finishing your training session, which will help with your muscle recovery.  Carbohydrates are also very important before training an can increase performance if taken 2+ hours before performing.  An other important part of recovery is protein.  An easy way to take in protein right after training is by drinking a recovery drink like a protein shake.  Note that many protein shakes may not be ideal and may contain dangerous and/or unhealthy ingredients.  One of my favorite protein shakes I have found to work for my family and athletes comes from Juice Plus+ Complete.
