HUMAN NUTRITION

Detailed explanation-1: -Your muscles work during exercise, fueled by glycogen (a kind of glucose). Muscles use proteins to refill their glycogen tanks. Consuming extra protein post-workout speeds this up and increases the amount of muscle mass post-recovery in the process.

Detailed explanation-2: -Consuming a proper amount of carbs and protein after exercise is essential. It stimulates muscle protein synthesis, improves recovery, and enhances performance during your next workout. It is important not to go much longer than a few hours before refueling with a meal or snack.

Detailed explanation-3: -Protein is an important part of a healthy diet. Proteins are made up of chemical ‘building blocks’ called amino acids. Your body uses amino acids to build and repair muscles and bones and to make hormones and enzymes. They can also be used as an energy source.

Detailed explanation-4: -Research suggests it doesn’t matter whether you drink a protein shake before or after your workout. Total daily protein intake matters most. Protein is necessary for muscle repair and growth. For this reason, many people consume protein supplements in the form of shakes along with their workouts.
