in health •  7 years ago 

After exercising, we must be sweating which makes us dehydrated and energy drained. In this case, we need to re-eat foods that can generate energy and hydrate the body.



Therefore it is very important to consume nutrient-rich foods that help the body stay fit. Unfortunately, some people actually eat foods that impair the function of the sport itself.

We must avoid such food so that the sport we have done is not in vain. Here are some foods to avoid after exercise.

1. Chocolate milk

Chocolate milk contains lots of sugar and calories, so do not eat milk chocolate after exercise. If you want to enjoy chocolate, consume a dark chocolate containing at least 70 percent cocoa powder.

Black chocolate is rich in antioxidants and contains little sugar. So, after exercising, we should eat this type of chocolate.

2. Raw vegetables

This may surprise you. However, cooked vegetables are more beneficial to health.

Once cooked, vegetables such as broccoli and capsicum are cleaner and beneficial to health. So the consumption of cooked vegetables instead of eating raw vegetables.

3. Soda

Although sodas help us quench our thirst and make us feel refreshed, this drink is not good for health. Soda contains a lot of sugar that if consumed in excess can be bad on the body.

So if we exercise to lose weight, then do not ever eat soda.

4. Foods high in protein

High protein foods are hard to digest for the body. After exercising, the body does not have enough energy to digest protein-rich foods.

Therefore, we should not consume protein-rich foods after exercise. Wait a few moments after taking a break, just take a meal like this.

5. Spicy food

Spicy foods can also cause digestive problems. This food can put extra pressure on our digestive system.

Therefore, we should avoid spicy food after exercise.
