GOT WATER?

Great news if you’re still in elementary school. A new study claims that chocolate milk is just as good at helping athletes regain their strength after exercising as those high-priced “power” drinks. We’ll ignore for a moment that milk is only supposed to be consumed by baby cows and the fact that this study was carried out by the Dairy and Nutrion Council. Nevertheless, the experiments showed that athletes who were drinking the chocolate milk between workouts performed just as good as athletes drinking a fluid-replacement drink, and around 50 percent better than athletes drinking a carbohydrate replacement drink. “My way of explaining it is, there’s really nothing magic about the powder in a can that you mix with water,” said a fitness instructor. “It’s water, carbs, proteins, maybe minerals and electrolytes. What’s in chocolate milk? The same thing.” (Yahoo News)
