Got Milk??

There has been lots of interesting information coming out recently about milk being a good post workout drink.  Yes the white stuff that comes from cows!!  Apparently it really does do a body good!!


A review published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition late last year found that drinking milk after exercise has positive effects on recovery, muscle building and hydration.


But there is more!!  Seems milk (or dairy) can help with weight loss!!  Studies at the University of TN showed that women that were put on a diet of 500 less calories a day than they were used to did in fact lose weight (Duh?).  But the group of women that were on the same diet but dairy was added…their fat loss was doubled!!  Thanks to Eat This Not That for this tidbit of information!!

Here are some articles to read about these topics, check 'em out:
