Milk and Athletes – What is the connection?!
May 11, 2023
It is unfortunate that this country, teeming with potential, is still not on the top league of global athletes. The first and most major barrier is nutrition. Majority of people are voluntarily malnourished, choosing to partake in unhealthy food habits, and eating the wrong kind of foods.
It is time we inculcate healthier food habits because this will not only lead to a healthy mind and healthy body but also motivate one to take part in physical activities. This is Milkmor’s tribute to all the Indian Athletes who are bringing India to the global athletes’ map against all odds.
5 reasons why Milk is important for sports recovery goals
- The main constituent of milk is Lactose, which is important to replenish the muscle glycogen stores that are utilised in any athletic activity.
- Milk contains a high amount of natural proteins, making it better than sports energy drinks that contain lesser amounts of protein – that too synthetic, which are not good for the body. Whey protein is also made from milk, and is a very important protein source for athletes because it causes slower digestion and absorption, which means that the proteins are in our system for longer, and can repair muscles for a longer time.
- Milk contains a high amount of water as well as essential electrolytes such as calcium, potassium, sodium, etc, which are important for nourishment after a tiring exercise session that has led to the loss of fluids from sweat.
- Studies have shown that drinking milk as your choice beverage over other carbohydrate-rich sports drinks after a weightlifting or resistance workout causes more lean muscle mass and a reduction in fat loss.
- Milk helps maintain the fluid balance of the body better than other sports drinks, or even water, for a much longer period.
These are just a few of the many reasons why Milk is very important, not just for athletes, but also for you!
