There has been a growing interest in milk and it’s uses in exercise. Most of the studies are small ones but the evidence is mounting and consistently shows that milk is a great way to rehydrate after exercise.<\/p>\n

Skimmed milk has been found to be an effective post-exercise rehydration aid and is more effective at \u00a0the fluid balance restoration than sports drinks.<\/p>\n

Low fat chocolate milk \u00a0has also been used to provide fluid after exercise. \u00a0Its ratio of 4:1 Carbohydrate to protein plus the sodium in it have been found to be very effective, leading to it being used by athletes, such as Michael Phelps.<\/p>\n

Pilates with Priya: milk to rehydrate.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Why?<\/p>\n

Milk contains:<\/span><\/p>\n

Protein – 80% casein, 20% whey which may reduce muscle damage and aid muscle repair. Who needs a protein shake when you can have the natural form of protein?<\/p>\n

Branched chain amino acids – leucine, isoleucines and valine, making supplements unnecessary.<\/p>\n

Carbohydrate – in the form of lactose to replenish the muscle and liver glycogen stores that will have been used up.<\/p>\n

Fat – to fill you up post-exercise \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Calcium – for bone health.<\/p>\n

Water – 87%<\/p>\n

Electrolytes – sodium and potassium which improve rehydration, helping you rehydrate quicker than with water alone.<\/p>\n

I’m not suggesting you need to have a glass of milk after a walk or a gentle exercise session but when you know you need to rehydrate and replenish milk is a great choice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
