Can I drink milk after exercising?

Everyone should know that after exercising, people's energy will drop significantly and their physical strength will be consumed a lot, which will have certain adverse effects on the human body. In order to eliminate these unfavorable factors, people have taken some measures to prevent them, that is, to replenish energy by drinking milk, which is rich in nutrients. Next, let’s take a look at whether we can drink milk after exercise.

Scientists have found that drinking milk after physical exercise can promote muscle growth. Therefore, for those who want to improve their body shape through sports, drinking milk is very important at this time.

Experts believe that milk can provide the necessary protein for muscle growth after exercise. The human body's protein level is relatively low after physical exercise, which is when the protein absorption rate is the highest.

Morning and evening are the best times to drink milk. Drinking milk at breakfast provides sufficient nutrition for the day's vitality; drinking milk at night not only helps sleep, but also helps the body absorb its nutrients.

According to research by medical experts from the United States and Britain, milk contains two hypnotic substances that were previously unknown to people. One of them is tryptophan synthesized from serotonin, which can promote sleep. Due to its effect, often only a glass of milk is needed to make people fall asleep. The other is a natural morphine-like substance that has similar anesthetic and sedative effects. Therefore, if you drink milk in the morning, it will inevitably inhibit the cerebral cortex and affect your work and study during the day. In addition, drinking milk in the morning is not conducive to digestion and absorption. This is because the protein in milk must be broken down into amino acids by the stomach and small intestine before it can be absorbed by the human body. In the morning, when the stomach is empty, the stomach and intestines are emptied very quickly, so the milk is discharged into the large intestine before it has time to be digested.

The above is a detailed introduction about whether people can drink milk after exercise. Milk is a very good nutrient. It is very helpful to the human body and can replenish a lot of energy. But remember, you cannot drink milk on an empty stomach, as this will harm your body.
