Milk, It Does a Body Good!

Funny how we can just come up with these things out of the air isn’t it? O.K.- I should have said—– “Got Milk?” Anyway-

I have been seeing a lot of information on milk lately. Now, when I was a kid— (and I am convinced that I can thank my parents for me being overweight) I used to drink a glass of chocolate milk EVERY morning of my life. I had these green Tupperware glasses that my mom or dad would make it in with Nestle Quick… then add a heaping teaspoon of sugar to it. I think my Dad started this. (Take note… he was also the one in the family that would put 1/2 and 1/2 on his cereal).

So, if you want to drink milk…. don’t put sugar in it.

It has come to the attention of researchers that milk will help your body quickly recover from stress. So, if you drink milk after a workout— not only will you replace the electrolytes that you have lost, but you can add protein and other essential things to your diet as well. According to the study, those that drank milk right after working out were able to exercise longer in their NEXT session than those that drank water or sports drinks.

I have seen Muscle Milk brand drinks for sale in my gym. They have both white and chocolate varieties so apparently it does not matter if you add chocolate… but I bet they leave out the spoonful of sugar.

Get up. Get moving. Drink your milk!!!
