Sports Nutrition for Recovery Buying Guide

Recovery encompasses a complex range of processes that include refuelling the muscle and liver glycogen stores , replacing the fluid and electrolytes lost  in sweat, manufacturing new muscle protein  as a part of the repair and adaptation process and allowing the immune system to handle the damage caused by the exercise bout.

Post Workout Recovery Drinks

A post-workout drink  is imperative in replacing fluids lost through sweating to rehydrate the body. Those who have trouble eating solid food soon after an intense training session should consider supplementation through a post-workout recovery drink.

An easy post-workout recovery shake includes 1 scoop of whey-protein powder , one banana, and 3/4 cup low-fat milk or soymilk  blended in a blender until smooth. Whey Protein powders  come in flavours like vanilla ,chocolate  and strawberry .

• K2 Sports Nutrition Whey Protein Isolate - Strawberry  is ideal as post-workout protein source due to its rapid uptake and availability into the bloodstream. Typically used by endurance athletes wanting to build muscle or increase strength.
