Why Whey Protein Powder After Exercise?
The hour immediately following exercise is known as the ‘recovery period’ and what you eat during this time is probably the most important meal or snack of the day. Whilst you may feel you deserve a bit of a treat after a tortuous episode at the gym, eating something high in fat would not only contribute to ther undoing of all your hard work. Fat slows down your body’s digestive function meaning any much needed carbohydrate and protein ingested after a work out would also be delayed.
Whey protein powder is the best way of making sure you get this element. Whey protein powder, when mixed with a fluid to make a shake, is quicker absorbed by the body compared to whole foods like tuna, chicken or egg white as it is in fluid form. As mentioned, the immediate hour following exercise being the recovery period means the faster protein is absorbed the better – whey protein powder is one of the fastest forms of protein for your body to absorb. Whey protein powder is a popular choice for bodybuilders wanting to dramatically increase their muscle mass and reduce fat.
You’ve probably already read about the IDS New Whey Liquid Protein vials and how convenient they are. There are, however, many whey protein powder products available on My Bodybuilding Superstore’s website. These can be bought in bulk amounts and mixed or blended with fluids of your choice so you can vary its taste and texture to better suit your personal taste.
