| Recovery Foods | |
| You should eat or drink carbohydrates as soon as tolerable (preferably within two hours after hard exercise) to replace depleted glycogen stores. Muscles are most receptive to refueling at this time. A simple post-exercise refueler is fruit juice - a rich source of fluid, carbohydrates, potassium, and vitamins.
Remember: Only carbohydrates can quickly refuel your muscles and prepare you for tomorrow's match. Hence, resist the greasy burger with french fries for your recovery feast; instead choose carbohydrate-rich thick-crust pizza with single cheese and veggie toppings, or a dinner that emphasizes potato, pasta, bread, vegetables, juices, and other carbs. |
