What To Eat After Exercise or Workout?

In my earlier article of Should We Eat After Workout, we learn that it is important to eat after workout. But, what should we eat?

Wait, before taking any food, remember to drink enough water after your exercise. Drink water, juice, or carbohydrate rich sports drinks to replace what you sweat out.

  If you are a competitive athlete, what you eat after a workout is very important. If you are a recreational exerciser and work out two to three times a week, you need not worry as much about post-exercise foods because your body will have enough time between workouts to recover.

Now, depending on your exercise, what you eat will be different.

• If you just completed a cardiovascular exercise, you should consume fibrous carbohydrate. A good post cardio food include fruit salad, yogurt, brown rice, oatmeal, cereal, toast and all natural peanut butter.
