3 post-workout potential foods

Workout wisdom says to put something in your body after exercise takes so much out. What’s the best something, though? How about whole-grain cereal, a bite of Indian takeout, or a big fat non-fat latte? RealAge says these are real possibilities.

Why these three snacks? considering they have something in common, capable of helping the body recover post-workout — the three C’s: Carbs, Curcumin, and Caffeine.

A carbohydrate-rich snack like cereal restores glycogen — the stuff muscles use for energy — and helps conquer fatigue. Curcumin, a substance found in the Indian spice turmeric, helps play down

muscle inflammation. And caffeine. It works to block muscle-pain-producing substances. Coffee has other health benefits too.
