Chocolate Milk for Muscle Growth?

This is a re blog from The Hot Bod Squad blog. I LOVE chocolate milk so I have to post this. It shows how good it is both in taste and good for you.
This blog was written by Eric Tuner. For fitness and lifestyle types check out the blog. It has some really great ones.

"It has been known by fitness enthusiasts that eating sugary candies and sports drinks immediately after a workout actually helps speed up protein synthesis and replace your glycogen levels, which are key factors in muscle growth and strength gain. That’s why you’ll see a lot of bodybuilders eat candy or drink a sugary sports drink after a workout in addition to their protein shake. Researchers from the American College of Sports Medicine found that chocolate milk also speeds protein synthesis and aids in glycogen replenishment. So if you need something to spice up your protein shakes after a workout, don’t feel guilty for mixing in chocolate milk- it’ll actually HELP the protein do more for your body. It does a body good!"

So as you can see it is among the best recovery snack out there and easily accessible to all.
Like it says; It does a body good!
