I have always been a big fan of Chocolate Milk after a work out. It is packed with the right combination of protein and carbohydrates! These two nutrients are a one, two punch making sure your body can recover, recharge and grow! I sometimes put a little bit of extra protein in a 12-16 oz jug of chocolate milk, but to each their own. Regardless, the research promoting the intake of chocolate milk and the benefits you gain from it after a work out are out there and growing. Don't take my word for it. Have a gander at REFUEL with Chocolate Milk.

Now, on to the money. They are looking for people like YOU to sponsor. Say you need a couple of extra bucks for that race you were thinking of doing. Maybe your team needs a pit of and entrance money into that next tournament. If you turn to CHOCOLATE MILK instead of that "other stuff" for your post workout drink, you might just raise that money faster than you'd hoped! Have a GO, remember, "YOU NEVER GET WHAT YOU DON'T ASK FOR!"

Kid's health is at an all time low. So many societal factors are contributing to the rapid decline of today's youth. Currently I am reading a book that I feel all parents should read. The facts are there and the teachings are simple, the challenge awaits parents AND children to make the change to improve their health. Childhood obesity is on the rise and Type 2 diabetes continues to plague those not being mindful of what they are putting in their bodies. Statistics say that if a child born around 2000 develops type 2 diabetes by the age of fifteen, it will take FIFTEEN years off of their life. A males projected age would be 60 rather than 75 and a females would be 65 rather than 80! Please do what you can and have a look at this diet/habit and life changing book! Living healthy starts with what you are eating!
