TOP 6 Recovery Drinks For Football (POST-GAME)

two major factors contributing to

football success are training and

recovery have one without the other and

you're gonna fail to succeed in the

sport now you all know me sleep and

nutrition form the base of the recovery

pyramid so in today's video i'm gonna

talk about nutrition and more

specifically i'm gonna go over six

recovery drinks that you can include in

your post game or training diet so what

are we looking for inside a recovery

drink you might ask yourself the first

and most obvious nutrient we're after is

protein however along with protein there

are also some other nutrients like

simple carbohydrates and electrolytes

whose purpose is to replenish the fluids

and nutrients you have lost

it is really hard to find a drink that

includes all these nutrients and that is

why you might want to consider a

combination of drinks or just opt for a

drink and a nutritious meal or snack to

cover your needs let's kick this video

off with water now before you skip the

video i want to share with you a quick

and easy rehydration method you can use

after your games or training sessions

after the whistle has been blown your

body is close to a dehydrated state you

want to combat that by replenishing

those fluids a simple rehydration method

that is really popular in the sports

industry is to weigh yourself before and

after the game for every kilogram you

lose you shall replenish that with 1 to

1.5 liters of water immediately after

exercising having said that i would now

like to talk about another way you can

rehydrate but also replenish some of

those other nutrients you've lost and

that leads me to the next recovery drink

which is sports drinks except for being

great for performance sports drinks are

also really effective recovery drinks

after exercising your body hasn't only

lost fluids but it also got its glycogen

and mineral stores depleted sports

drinks can be used to replenish all

those nutrients you've lost and bring

your body closer to its baseline levels

again for recovery purposes i would

highly suggest an isotonic or hypertonic

drink to quickly bring your nutrient

levels back to normal again either

consume it directly after exercising or

alongside your post-game meal or snack

now the next drink will probably blow

your mind away it's now time to talk

about chocolate milk yup you heard that

right in fact chocolate milk has been

proven to be a great recovery drink for

athletes and a tasty one for sure it's

great content and weighing pin cassian

protein and simple carbohydrates makes

it a great recovery drink that ticks off

the basic boxes of recovery but the

benefits don't stop there the minerals

it contains make it an even better

option amongst those other recovery

drinks available in the market it might

not be the ideal one because of the

sugar content but it definitely is a

great convenient and tasty option many

of you are going to love after a hard

training session or game now another

drink you would greatly enjoy is a

protein shake similar to chocolate milk

protein shakes are high in proteins and

can also fulfill your desire for

something sweet and convenient what i

would suggest is taking casein protein

before falling asleep as this is a slow

digesting protein that will aid the

muscle protein synthesis process even

while you're asleep having said that

choosing a whey protein powder would

definitely not destroy your recovery

gains of course you might also want to

consider a recovery smoothie similar to

chocolate milk and protein shakes

recovery smoothies can be really high in

proteins however based on the things you

add into the smoothie you can also

replenish your glycogen and mineral

stores in fact there are shakes you can

do that could even replace a whole meal

this of course is a convenient choice

for many players with a really good

nutritional value by pausing the video

right now you'll be able to see one of

the many smoothie recipes you can find

by clicking the link in the description

and now moving on to the last drink i

would suggest for recovery if you have

ginger shots ginger is believed to be a

great choice when it comes to managing

pain inflammation and soreness it is

full of antioxidants and has

anti-inflammatory properties making it

great for your overall recovery and

health it also seems to be great for

your digestive health and immune

function although the research is still

pretty limited on ginger shots including

them in your weekly diet seems to give

your immune system a great boost and

help you feel and recover better but

also faster i guess it's a matter of

trial than ever so i would definitely

try this out and see how my body reacts

to it so guys we talked about recovery

today but what about the other

ingredients of success performance and

training well i want you to watch this

video next so you can learn how these

drinks can help you optimize your game

day and training performance
