Sports Powders for Recovery
If you feel you are getting enough protein from your regular
diet or from bars then a straight forward sports drink is ideal as
a recovery drink. It has the perfect balance of carbs and
electrolytes to replace what you have lost.
Replacing Lost Energy
Straight after exercise, the body craves carbohydrates, having
used them during exercise. Topping up your carb stores with an
energising sports drink will get your energy levels back and also
help your body maintain a healthy metabolism cycle.
As well as having lost carbohydrates during exercise, your body
has sweated out salts and electrolytes. To maintain a healthy
fluid balance in your body, you must replace these electrolytes,
which are present in a good sports drink.
