Post Workout Shake For Bigger Muscles

Hard workouts, even easy ones, stress the body, especially the muscles. As a result muscle fibers are broken down during workout. In this stage they are more than ready to receive all the help they can get from food nutrients. Since muscle fibers are torn by the hard work, they use protein from food to recuperate and build new and stronger structures. Since muscles are not aware how big is the damage made to them they strive to build even more fibers than there were before, which in a nutshell is how the muscles grow. Ideal food after a workout is fast soluble protein powder which can be bought in any food supplements store. To increase utilization of protein by the muscles even more you can add some amount of simple sugars to that shake. Dextrose is one the best sugars for this occasion. Dextrose will cause insulin hormone to spike and transport all those proteins into the cell very fast. So, imperative is to take this shake as soon as possible because time is of value in this case.

This is great advice. I was just talking to a triathlete friend of mine and he had no concept of post workout nutrition. I recommended the same thing, protein, carbs and glutamine! There are some pre-formulated combo products but I prefer to but each one pure and mix them together when needed. It is much cheaper and you know exactly what you are getting.
