*** Todays Tip: EATING FOR EXERCISE RECOVERY Research has shown that eating a snack or meal with a combination of carbohydrate and protein is best following endurance exercise. Its best to refuel within 15 minutes to an hour after endurance exercise. This carb/protein combination helps the body replace muscle fuel and repair muscle tissue which can be damaged after intense endurance exercise. A few good recovery snacks and meals include smoothies made with yogurt and frozen berries, graham crackers with peanut butter and low-fat chocolate milk, or a turkey sandwich with veggies plus low-fat milk.
