How To Maximize Your Post-Workout Hydration - Glam

This may sound counterintuitive, but chocolate milk might be what the doctor ordered for post-workout hydration, muscle recovery, and bone strengthening, not to mention that it is delicious. According to Built With Chocolate Milk, chocolate milk provides the same electrolytes found in other commercial recovery drinks, including calcium, potassium, sodium, and magnesium. These electrolytes aid in balancing body fluids, helping you rehydrate and overcome fatigue after an intensive workout. 

Because it also contains vitamins, proteins, lipids, flavonoids, carbs, and carbohydrates, chocolate milk helps speed up the healing of muscles and the liver. It is a fantastic option for athletes recovering from demanding physical activities. According to a 2019 analysis in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, chocolate milk increases perceived exertion, or the degree of physical discomfort experienced during exercise, as well as time to exhaustion (TTE), a measure used in exercise physiology to assess athletic tolerance.
