TUESDAY FITNESS TRIVIA
True or False
Eating simple carbs after a tough strength training workout
with whey isolate protein will increase protein synthesis resulting in a
leaner, sculpted physique.
This is TRUE!
Proteins are large organic molecules that are made up of
smaller units called amino acids. Linking of many amino acids in an orderly
manner to form a particular protein is called protein synthesis.
Simple carbs spikes insulin which is used to shuffle the
much needed amino acids & nutrients in protein into your hard worked
muscles. Whey protein isolate is the purest, most easily digested and rapidly
absorbed protein on the market.
Choose a healthy simple carb such as fresh or frozen berries
or fruit. Fruit & berries contains the simple carbohydrate called fructose,
which is made from one sugar molecule. Fructose is responsible for fruit's
natural sweetness. Fruit comes in a variety of colors, with each color having
different antioxidants and minerals to aid in repairing your muscles and
increasing energy. You can make a
delicious post workout shake with frozen berries & whey isolate vanilla protein;
it's like a treat and is very satisfying.
So don't forget to feed your muscles a highly nutritious
post workout meal after each training session, and have fun creating the life
& body of your dreams!
Happy Training!
