Top 10: Recovery Foods.

Top 10 Recovery Foods.....

The importance of replenishing muscle glycogen stores as well as fluids after heavy exercise is well understood by sports scientists and coaches. But the relatively recent discovery that muscle glycogen synthesis is more rapid if carbohydrate is consumed
immediately after exercise has focused attention on early post-race strategies to promote recovery and enhance subsequent performance.


After a workout, your body's stores of glycogen -- the carbohydrate that is stored in the muscles and liver -- are depleted. If you don't replenish them, your body won't recover properly and your performance will suffer during your next workout. This is particularly important for athletes who partake in intense training sessions or competitions. If you only workout a couple of times a week, you will likely restore your glycogen between sessions; however, athletes who train hard almost every day must really pay attention to what they eat immediately after they exercise.
