The Healthy diet after a workout

The food that you eat after an exercise or fitness regime is important. The intake of the essential ingredients in your diet after workouts benefits your health.

Studies show that having a low carbohydrate meal after exercises enhances insulin sensitivity making it easier for the body to take up sugar from the bloodstream and store it in muscles where it can be used for fuel. Eating a meal after a workout definitely enhances the insulin, however the level to which it enhances faster depends on the amount of carbohydrates in the diet. Hence a perfectly balanced diet with the perfect fitness regime is sure to keep you healthy.
