In a land mark study presented in 2007 at the ACSM Annual Conference in New Orleans, scientist from the University of Texas prduced evidence that the whole-cereal and milk produced superior recovery after exercise to a specialised sports drink. What they found was that while both the sports drink and 100% whole-wheat flake cereal with skimmed milk raised blood glucose and insulin levels, significantly higher and also blunted the rise in blood lactate compared with sports drinks. The researchers also found that while glycogen storage was comparable between the two treatments, cereal and milk showed a significant advantage in protein synthesis and additional glycogen storage potencial.
Of course, the benefits don´t stop there; whole grain cereals are rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fibre, which even the very best sports drinks wil fail to match. This makes cereal and milk potencial muh healthier option than sports drinks! Moreover, other recent research indicates that milk in itself can provide excellent recovery; not only does it contain rapidly digesting Whey and slower digesting casein proteins, it also contains naturally occurring milk sugars ( quick-releasing ) together with slower releasing complex carbohydrate.
