Drink milk – its good for you!

Let me tell you about a really good post workout drink – MILK – yes, ordinary milk.

Milk is:

• High in protein – 200mls of semi skimmed gives you 14% of what you need daily.  Muscle repair and growth depends on protein for fuel
• 200mls had 34% of daily phosphorous that we need to healthy bones and teeth
• Want 9% of daily potassium (for muscle and nerve function)? – That’s tight 200mls milk
• Want to reduce tiredness and maintain mental function?  You need Vit B5 – a whopping 23% of daily allowance in that same 200mls
• Nearly half of daily iodine needs in that glass, great for good skin
• 36% of Vit B2 for skin, vision and nerve functioning and great for reducing fatigue
• And if you want to keep your bones strong – get 31% of daily calcium requirements from the white stuff
• And as for Vit B12 (for normal nerve and psychological function ) – get 72% from 200mls of semi skimmed

What’s not to like?

Milk is good for you because:

1. It’s a great post workout drink , the carbs help to refuel the body and the protein stimulates muscle growth.  Its got fluid and electrolytes to rehydrate the body and aid natural; recovery
2. Its dead easy to calorie count (126 calories in the 200 ml of semi skimmed)
3. Can keep your fats down easily – switch to skimmed if you need to.
4. Milk in the morning will stave off those 11.00 hunger pangs that make you reach for the biscuits
5. With more than 400 fatty acids you can be sure that it will help protect cells from damage.
