You workout because you want to look good and be healthy. Are you skipping the most important thing to do after a workout???
When you're working out your muscles use up their glycogen stores for fuel. This results in your muscles being partially depleted of glycogen. Some of the proteins in your muscles also get broken down and damaged.
Eating the right nutrients soon after your exercise can help your body repair and regrow those muscle proteins.
By doing this it helps your body:
Decrease muscle protein breakdown
Increase muscle protein growth
Restore glycogen stores
Enhance Recovery
Bottom line, getting in the right nutrients after exercise can help your body! Make sure you are eating protein first, healthy carbs and good fats!
