GOOD News to Chocolate Milk Lover

-Chocolate Milk Helps in Muscle Recovery-

What should you eat after strenuous exercise or competition? Many studies have shown that eating a protein-rich meal as soon as possible after this hard workout hastens muscle recovery. Intelligently increased workloads make an athlete stronger, and anything that helps you recover faster allows you to do more work. When you feel the burn during intense exercise, you are damaging your muscle fibers. The pain that you feel 8 to 24 hours after a hard workout is due to muscle damage. It is now fairly well established that your muscles recover faster if you eat protein as soon as possible after a hard workout or competition.

You'll be happy to know that a study from Indiana University in Bloomington shows that chocolate milk helps athletes to recover faster from hard exercise than drinks that replaced only carbohydrates or fluid alone (International Journal of Sports Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism, February 2006).

Chocolate milk is the ultimate recovery aid for exhausted muscles. It is chalked full of nutrients that help build up the muscles and prevent them from depleting. It also reduces the risk of muscle damage when exercising through the essential amino acids found in the protein. These proteins work in harmony in order to repair and restore muscle composition and allow the body to build leaner muscle in order to become healthier and fit for anyone who participates in exercising. Amino acids are the building blocks of life and chocolate milk contains very important amino acids that aid in the recovery of muscle as well as building it. Studies have revealed that exercise depletes levels of glycogen in the muscles which allows your body to keep on going...

Staircase Good For YOU

Hi dear friends,
It's Monday,  15 November 2010,a new day of a week and it's the mid of month of November. So, have you shopped for Christmas?.. haha..too early?.. For me, I already bought some presents for all my family members. And I can't wait to give it to them..hehe..
I love to give gift because i love to see their smile when they unwrap the presents. I can feel some sort of peace and happiness in my heart when i see their smile.. :)
In other words, I am at bliss to see their happiness.. :)
I am planning to bring the whole family to celebrate Christmas in Kundasang. 
Hmm.. don't know if we can make it or not.. try to disucss with them about this sooner. 


So today, I would like to share with you the benefit of staircase.


Did you know that climbing staircase everyday can lengthen your life period?.. 


Taking staircase everyday compared to lift, able to prolong humans life. 
A study conducted by a group of European experts found out that those who had practiced on climbing up staircase everyday have a better quality of health. 
Not only that, their waistline shrink to 1.8 percent, 1.7 percent of fat and LDL cholesterol by 3.9 percent.  Through the collected data, the experts concluded that a person could reduce deaths by 15 percent due to any illness.


So start taking staircase today. If your office at 2nd or 3rd floor, you can challenge yourself and take a chance to use staircase. Maybe you can start once or twice a week as a beginner and increase the number of taking staircase to 3 times to 5 times. 


For me, my office is at 2nd floor. No lift provided, so i have to use staircase everyday. 
Same as well at home, my apartment is at 3rd floor, so i have to use staircase everyday since there's no lift provided too. 


Although i feel tired to climb up staircase everyday, but when I think in positive way, it can give a better health for me. I am so grateful. Thank GOD. :)


So take care of yourself. If you don't, then who will be.. :)


That's it for now.
Have a healthy Monday ..:)
