Sister has a secret.
Sister loves chocolate milk. Yup. The sweet, smooth, silky goodness conjures up all sorts of wonderful feelings. But Sister has never been one to tout the health benefits of this nectar of the gods. Until now. That’s right. HEALTH BENEFITS.
There is captivating and compelling evidence out of the American College of Sports Medicine quoting four studies in which chocolate milk offered a recovery advantage to help repair and rebuild muscles when compared to specially designed carbohydrate sports drinks.
Specificially, research suggests that drinking fat free chocolate milk after exercise can help the body recover. AND drinking low fat chocolate milk can even help better prepare muscles for a subsequent bout of exercise….Wow. This is just good news.
Let’s get some thinks straight. Sister stresses portion size. Many containers of chocolate milk are two servings. The serving size for chocolate milk is 8 ounces. Eight ounces looks very different from 16 ounces! Read the label, set a better table!
Bottoms up!
