"Do You Know What Your Body Needs As Post Workout Meal - For A Desired Lean And Hard Body?" - Health - Fitness

After our workout sessions we all enter a state where our muscle glycogen is depleted and our cortisol level increased for the excessive breakdown of muscular tissues. This post workout catabolic state is not really good and the only way we can correct this is by eating a meal that can promote our anabolic state. For this reason I want to lay emphasis on our post workout meal.Taking a food that can digest quickly, immediately after our workout exercise is our goal. So, we need to choose foods or meals that contain carbohydrates that can digest speedily in other to replenish our muscular glycogen and also fast digestible protein that will supply the amino acid required in the repair of our worn-out muscular tissues. The fast production of these glycogen and amino acids from this meal enhances the production of insulin by the pancreas and this pushes the nutrients into the cells of the muscle. We should try as much as possible to make the post workout meal to be free from fa t because fat reduces the rate of meal absorption and of course we can see that this works contrary to our post workout nutrition goal.For best result, our post workout meal should have 290 to 500 calories, depending on our individual body weight - a lady of about 110-lb may take about 290 calories while a man of 180lb can take up to 480calories and the ratio of carbohydrate / protein content of the food should be within the range of 2/1 to 4/1.On this, there is no need for those expensive supplements that are advertised on our medias, healthy natural food remains the best in every of our meals, including post workout meal. Natural foods that contain carbohydrates that can digest quickly include organic maple, banana, pineapples and honey. While source of quick digestible protein include low fat yogurts and natural whey protein isolate. A post workout meal can be instantly available by blending one and a half of bananas, 3 table spoons of organic maple syrup, half cup of ski mmed milk, 35g chocolate whey protein powder, all with a cup of water - this will give you a chocolate banana of about 460 calories.After the post workout meal, other meals should be the very opposite of it - Carbohydrates that are slowly digested, proteins that are slowly digested and good quantity of healthy fats. With this method of giving our body what it requires as post workout meal, you can easily reduce much body fat and replace it with a lean and muscular body.
