Milk can provide both carbohydrates (lactose) and protein (whey protein and casein). Compared with ordinary sports drinks, low-fat milk, whether pure or chocolate-containing, has a considerable or even better effect on muscle growth and repair. Especially drinking low-fat milk after exercise has a better effect on physical recovery.

The benefits of using milk as a sports drink don't stop there. Nutritionist Nelson said that milk contains a variety of electrolytes such as sodium and potassium, and is also rich in nutrients such as calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D, which can supplement the water lost due to sweating during exercise.

Precautions after exercise:

1, eat one hour after exercise.

Eat something about an hour after exercise. It is easier to accept all kinds of drinks or liquid foods after exercise, and at the same time, it can replenish water. If you haven't eaten dinner for two hours after exercise, you can eat solid food to supplement sugar and protein. For example, three kinds of fruits (apples, oranges, etc. ), two fruits with a cup of milk, 500ml pure juice, two fruits with a cup of yogurt, two pieces of bread with a little jam and a cup of milk, etc.

Don't drink caffeinated drinks after exercise.

Avoid drinking caffeinated drinks after exercise, such as coffee, soda, tea, etc., because caffeine also has diuretic effect, which will make the body's water supply insufficient. Although soda water can also provide water and sugar, it is not suitable as an after-exercise drink, and adults and children had better avoid it.
