Chocolate Milk?

[Light Work]

I tried searching but got nothing. I know there was a discussion in the Rochester Goalie Clinic Thread as to why Chocolate Milk was good after a game. Can someone go over this again. Thanks.

Swiss can jump in but Dr. John said that it's the only natural drink that replenishes electrolytes and everything else w/o any addiditves. I do believe that it has to be low-fat though.

Sports Drink With Protein Performs Better

Can a sports drink improve your endurance and reduce muscle damage? A study published
in the July, 2004 issue of "Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise" found that Accelerade,
a sports drink that combines carbohydrates plus protein, did just that.

What Sports Drinks Do
Sports drinks contain carbohydrates and electrolytes to replace lost body salt and to
replenish muscle energy stores. For endurance activities such as walking, running,
or cycling, the body burns through its available muscle energy stores in the first
45 minutes. A sports drink does several things - it replaces the water, sodium and
potassium lost in sweat and it provides carbohydrates for ready energy so the muscles
can continue to perform.

Carbs Plus Protein Better for Endurance
In the study, a sports drink that has a 4:1 carbohydrate to protein ratio was compared
to standard Gatorade sports drink. Cyclists did not know which beverage they were given.
They rode a cycle to exhaustion, drinking every 15 minutes. Then 10-15 hours later they
did it again. The cyclists who drank the Accelerade protein-carbohydrate drink rode 29%
longer in their first session and 40% longer in their second session than those drinking
the Gatorade carbohydrate drink.

Protein-Carbohydrate Drink Reduces Muscle Damage
The subjects were also tested for plasma CPK levels, which indicate the amount of muscle
damage. Those who drank the Accelerade protein-carbohydrate drink had 83% lower CPK levels,
showing less muscle damage. Muscle damage contributes to post-exercise muscle soreness, a
major complaint of fitness enthusiasts.

You want to accomplish two things after the game. Refuel inside the "glycogen window" and stop muscle breakdown as a result of exercise.

Our bodies use glycogen as the fuel to operate our muscles. Glycogen is stored in the muscles and the liver and is manufactured from carbohydrate. The "glycogen window" is a time period that is about 3.5 hours long that you can rapidly replace the glycogen that you've depleted. Refueling diring this time period helps speed recovery, which would be important if you have multiple games (like in a tournament) or a game the following day. Miss the glycogen window and it may take as long as 48 hours to completely recover.

Consuming protein will halt muscle breakdown (which will contine to occur even after the game has ended) and begin the muscle rebuilding process.

The body can absorb liquids faster than solids so that is why liquids are popular for recovery.

If you can't drink chocolate milk you can make your own homemade recovery drink. Use 16 ounces of skim milk and put 2 teaspoons of white sugar in it.

Out of curiosity has any one tried to find out information about Cow's milk and the human body outside of the Dairy industry sources?

Especially when it comes to FDA approved milk Chocolate Puss might be more appropriate

This link is OK for short attention spans:

Hey Cuban, you know where we can get some of this Acellerade, sounds like some pretty good stuff.

Known this for years. In fact, I learnt it in Biology class. I do agree with the theory but I'm still drink milk.
