Foods to take after workout
What’s the best snack to grab after a major workout? How about a bowl of whole-grain cereal, a bite of any spicy takeout, or a big non-fat latte. Each option has a special ingredient that may help your body recover better and nip post-workout pain in the bud.
The 3 Cs
What, exactly, do these snacks have that others might not? The three Cs: carbs, curcumin, and caffeine. A carb-rich snack like cereal can help you overcome fatigue by restoring glycogen — that stuff your muscles use for energy. Curcumin, a substance found in the spice turmeric, may help quell muscle inflammation. And caffeine from coffee may help block muscle-painproducing substances. Coffee has other health benefits, too.
