🍎 Today’s Health Question ~ Should You Pound Protein after a Workout?

Feed Your Body Protein After Your Workout

Cool down from your workout and pound protein. . . . The so-called “anabolic window” refers to a short period of time following workouts, during which exercisers need to consume protein for muscles to properly recover, grow and become stronger. It revolves around the concept that muscles are more sensitive to protein and therefore more likely to absorb and use protein immediately after exercise than they are later throughout the day. The ‘anabolic window’ implies that delaying protein intake by one hour or more after exercise will reduce or, worse still, prevent muscle anabolism [growth] during recovery.
