I’m a working mom, so my days are jam-packed! Kids, meetings and making dinner take up all my time. When I find time, I squeeze in a workout. And as a registered dietitian nutritionist, I know that post-workout snacks and meals are key for recovery; you need to refuel and your muscles need to recover.
When it comes to lean muscle, whether it be gaining or maintaining, protein is key. The best way to get protein is always through food first; most student athletes can get adequate amounts of protein through a balanced daily diet. However, if you have higher calorie needs or time constraints, you may need a protein supplement. In these cases, whey protein is an excellent choice.
Football season is rapidly approaching, and players across the NFL are heading into their annual training camps. The Dallas Cowboys are no exception. This is the time when players showcase their offseason work in hopes of setting a winning tone very early. But that extends beyond the field and weight room; nutrition is also a huge part of a winning game plan. As the official nutrition partner of the Dallas Cowboys, Dairy MAX knows that what you put in your body affects how you perform – and performance is huge in professional football.
When it comes to nutrition, milk delivers! As a registered dietitian nutritionist, I love recommending chocolate milk to children and adults alike. Here are my four reasons why you should make chocolate milk your family’s sports drink.
Approximately 8,000 athletes descended on the Lawn at Reunion in Dallas for the annual Rock ’n’ Roll Half Marathon on March 19, 2017. It was an unseasonably warm day and marathon runners knew they had their work cut out for them.
They also knew that at the end of the course there would be a cold sample of Oak Farms TruMoo chocolate milk waiting for them to refuel their bodies.
The Dallas Cowboys are huge influencers off the field as well as on, and one of their initiatives is to promote health in the community, especially for kids and young athletes who look up to the players as role models.
Whether you’re trying to recover from a brutal workout or please the taste buds of your family members, there are plenty of reasons chocolate milk is the all-star in your fridge.
Whether you’re dashing out the door for work or squeezing in that 30-minute workout, sometimes the last thing on your mind is food, let alone something tasty and nutritious.
Gluten-intolerant, salt-intolerant and lactose-intolerant are all becoming very popular terms in the food world. While these conditions often lead people to eliminate or strictly limit their intake of particular food ingredients, there is some good news for those who think they may be lactose intolerant. You still can safely drink milk, nature’s perfect sports drink, after exercise to rehydrate, refuel and rebuild.
