Scurry Tip #9: Recovery

Recovery time after an intense workout is 15 min. If you don’t eat within 15 min of exercise, you extend the recovery process by 24 hrs.

Immediate post- exercise feeding of carbohydrate or protein has beneficial effects on muscle glycogen replenishment and muscle protein synthesis.

A combination of carbohydrate and protein works best! Some examples include: peanut butter with crackers, toast, or banana; yogurt; turkey sandwich; tuna with crackers; protein bar; cottage cheese with fruit.
