Best food menu after workout

During a workout, your body breaks down muscle glycogen as well as muscle protein structures. Whether you eat or don't eat before exercise, research shows the body burns the same amount of fat. However, you can actually cause muscle loss if you regularly work out on an empty stomach. Here's why: When you're hungry, your body goes into survival mode and draws protein from muscle instead of from your kidneys and liver, where the body normally looks for protein. When this happens, you lose muscle mass, which can ultimately slow your metabolism and make it harder for you to lose weight. Plus, if you exercise on an empty stomach, you're not giving yourself the fuel you need to power through an intense training session.

WATER:


 In general, dehydration leads to fatigue, which slowly eats away at your bodily functions you need to get through the day. The more water you drink, the more awake and alert you’ll feel. Also, opting for drinking water with a high pH such as Icelandic Glacial [8.4 pH] helps the body detoxify and balance out acidity levels - resulting in better prevention of disease and illness.

MILK :


If you're trying to put on muscle, you better. Whole milk was once a staple for guys who were packing away calories and moving massive amounts of iron in order to go from pencil neck to bull neck. These days we know enough to shun or restrict the saturated-fat-filled whole variety in favor of skim, but even the fat-free version has its detractors. Some claims against milk link it to childhood diabetes, while others allege widespread pesticide contamination of dairy products
DRIED FRUITS AND NUTS :



If you’re crunched for time, a handful or two of this snack delivers a quick protein and carbs fix. Soy nuts are especially helpful for building muscle; a half cup contains 34 grams of protein. Although the calories vary depending on your choice of mix, a 1/3-cup serving of dried fruit and nuts can have 130 to 190 calories, making it a calorie-dense snack choice. Eating more calories than you need leads to weight gain. To help keep calories under control when snacking on dried fruit and nuts, don't eat from the container. Instead, preportion your mix into 1/3-cup servings

BANANAS :


Bannas are high in the good kinds of crabs you need after a workout.These fast-acting carbs will helps restore your body's levels of glycogen,which helps rebuild damages muscles.And they provide lots of wonderful ptassium.Bananas help to overcome depression due to high levels of tryptophan,which is converted into serotonin,the happy mood brain neurotransmitter.Eat two bananas before a strenous workout to pack an energy punch and sustain your blood sugar.Protect against muscles cramps during workouts and night time leg cramps by eating banana.
Egg:



The amino acids in eggs are converted into muscle, skin, collagen, and other body tissue more efficiently than the proteins from any other food you can eat (or drink). Egg yolks are packed with nutrients, including nearly half of a large egg's 6 grams of protein as well as almost all of the 13 different vitamins eggs supply. Yolks are also an excellent source of lutein and zeaxanthin, carotenoids that protect your peepers against most forms of age- related damage
ORANGE JUICE :


Instead of a Gatorade, grab a glass of OJ. In addition to vitamin C, you’ll also get significantly more potassium than you would from popular sports drinks, which are generally intended for use during extended exercise, not after. Potassium is an important electrolyte that helps the body restore its fluid levels. Orange juice also works well for protein shakes.A refreshing glass of orange juice with a hearty breakfast does wonders for the body’s spirits and its immune system.  Considered an iconic symbol of dieting and healthy food habits, the tall glass of chilled freshly squeezed orange juice is what you look forward to after a grueling workout at the gym or a long swim in the beach.
