Description
Refuel with complete protein Fuelling for exercise is well understood, but for any workout that lasts longer than 90 minutes, it is essential that you fuel for your recovery too. The best way to do this is with 100% natural & delicious real food, with the optimal balance of Carbohydrates and Protein. Fuelling your recovery means you should aim to rehydrate, replenish glycogen stores & start to rebuild muscle within the first 30 minutes after exercise.
Your muscles store energy in the form of glycogen that is released when you exercise. When you work hard your muscles' stores of glycogen are depleted & this is known as the Glycogen Debt. To optimise recovery it is essential to top up these stores - the quicker the better. Glycogen stores are built up by eating glucose and that means that carbohydrates are your best friends at this time. Our apricots are unsulphured so are naturally darker & sweeter, full of essential carbohydrates, anti-oxidants, vitamins and minerals. Fennel is a great source of manganese & is recognised for its anti-inflammatory power, perfect to regulate blood sugar & calm muscle soreness after prolonged exercise. A complete protein is one which contains all 9 essential amino acids to facilitate muscle repair. With a Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score of 1.0 (the highest level possible).
