Happy Thanksgiving!

Milk and Exercise

Milks powerful nutrients can recharge your body

after a workout. Milk has carbohydrates to help
refuel the body; protein to help reduce muscle
breakdown and stimulate growth; and fluid and
electrolytes to aid in rehydration. Drinking milk
after resistance training
has been shown to increase your bodys ability to make new muscle.
All the more reason to
drink milk!

With best wishes for a happy and

healthy Thanksgiving
