Athletics And Athletic Socialites: Recover With Delicious Chocolate Milk Instead

Look, the problem with most hydrating supplements is that they taste exactly like the inside of an IV bag. Do you “go hard” on the field, or at night on the town? You probably didn’t know that you can regain all your energy and avoid fatigue by consuming low fat flavoured milk. According to two studies conducted in America, calcium and hydration are both crucial to the recovery process after excessive strain on the body.

Fair Cape Dairies  have a wide selection of flavoured milks that are perfect for athletes to consume after training. Varying from Barbie, Barney and Spiderman character branded chocolate and strawberry flavoured low fat milkshakes for kids to a recently launched range of strawberry, chocolate and toffee low fat flavoured milkshakes for adults, Fair Cape Dairies has your body and health covered when it comes to boosting your energy and hydration and increasing and strengthening your calcium supply.

There are various reasons, according to these studies conducted in America as to why low fat flavoured milks are the perfect sports recovery drink – This is mostly because they contain;

  • Carbohydrates to boost ones energy, fight fatigue and ensure hydration;
  • Protein to aid muscle power;
  • Calcium to build and maintain strong bones;
  • Fluids that prevent and decrease the chances of heat stress and exhaustion and
  • Potassium, sodium and magnesium to replace electrolytes that are lost through sweating

Low fat drinking yoghurts are also a great source of recovery after training- Fair Cape Dairies also have a variety of drinking yoghurts available, which include the popular drinking yoghurt sachets as well as the Lunchbox and Rooiboost drinking yoghurt shots and Ice coffee flavoured milks.

Fair Cape Dairies low fat flavoured milks and drinking yoghurts are available at your local Spar, Shoprite, Checkers and selected Pick ‘n Pay stores.
