Diet and Nutrition
"If are are wondering as to how to get a better uptake with your protein powders..
Here is a simple tip to help you with that..
you can simply just add protein powder any flavor to a Gatorade.
The reason why it works is that the sugar initiates an insulin release that will
shuttle the sugar into the muscle cells and the protein which is piggy backing on the
sugar. This will dramatically increase the likelihood of protein making it to the place
where it is needed most: Your muscle cells.
This drink is meant to be a post work out drink but can also be pre workout and taken throughout your workout."

"Water -> drink water during regular exercise such as resistance training, aerobics, yoga, pilates adn spinning or while in practice for sports like volleyball, soccer and football.

Tip->Be Careful not to drink ice cold water too quikly during an activity. Ice cold water can shock the body and constrict blood vessels, changing the blood and oxygen supply to preforming muscles. Popular water and mineral waters are garorade and nestle.
Sports Drinks -> Grab a sports drink during any high intensity, adrenaline driven endurance sport such as boxing or any activity of the same type that lasts beyond one hour.

Energy drinks-> Go for an energy drink when your activity requires a high level of energy and high intesity output. For example, when running, mountain biking, skiing or competing in mixed martial arts.
Why -> While Caffine is usally the main ingredient, when used properly, energy drinks can help restore mental alertness and energy.
Tip-> Do not replace your morning cofee with an energy drink, or mix your energy with alcohol shots. If you have high blood pressure, consult with your docter befor using an energy drink.
