\"exercise<\/a>Beer or no beer? A study<\/a> of 25 college students was performed a few\u00a0years back and found that beer may have some positive influences on the body after a long tough workout. The students were split into two groups and\u00a0asked to exercise in 104 degree weather. One group\u00a0was given beer<\/a> and\u00a0the other group was given water<\/a> to help them recover. The study\u00a0was conducted for several months and according to the professors and scientists in charge, the students\u00a0that were given beer appeared to be better hydrated than those given\u00a0water. They believe that beer helps you retain liquid better than water and the carbohydrates in the beer help replace lost calories.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, most of us exercise to lose weight and drinking beer after\u00a0exercising pretty much defeats the purpose. (The average light beer has 103 calories, 5.7g carbs and 14mg sodium.) Why put empty calories<\/a> back in your body after trying to burn them?\u00a0I recommend drinking plenty of water while\u00a0exercising and then eating a healthy meal or snack after the bout of exercise to help replenish the body. If you have any questions, please feel free to leave a\u00a0comment and I will get back to as soon as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
