A PRODUCT DESIGNED FOR RECYCLING
To guarantee its effectiveness, the bar should ideally be consumed within half an hour of exercise. Why carbohydrates? Carbohydrates help restore normal muscular function (contraction) after very intense and/or prolonged physical effort, resulting in muscular fatigue and a depletion of glycogen reserves in skeletal muscles. Why protein? Proteins help rebuild muscle fibers damaged by exertion.
WHAT TO TAKE IN ADDITION TO MY BAR
Water for rehydration, taken at intervals (more or less depending on perspiration); sodium for hydration and better carbohydrate absorption; bicarbonates to buffer acidity. For these reasons, water rich in bicarbonates and sodium is recommended.
WHEN SHOULD I TAKE A RECUPERATION RATION?
Too much is sometimes the enemy of good! The recovery ration is not absolutely necessary after a short, light session, or if your next meal is within the hour (note that it must be sufficiently rich in carbohydrates, proteins and anti-oxidants).
STOP THE MYTHS!
There's no need to take on too much protein. Muscle recovery and rebuilding won't be any better if you take more than 20g of protein. Isolated protein intake is not optimal for recovery. On the other hand, to promote muscle building and restock muscle glycogen, it's best to combine protein with carbohydrates.
QUICK REMINDER
In addition to physical activity, it's important to maintain a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Stay hydrated.
