Milk is an effective exercise recovery drink due to its powerful nutrient package that supplies the nutrition the body needs after a workout. Milk has carbohydrates to help refuel the body; protein to help reduce muscle breakdown and stimulate growth; and fluid and electrolytes to aid in rehydration. Drinking milk after resistance training has been shown to increase the body’s ability to make new muscle and may help improve body composition. In addition, recent studies have shown that drinking milk after an endurance workout may help reduce muscle damage and improve muscle recovery, which in turn may help the body perform better during its next workout.
