Hmm... Chocolate Milk.

Interestingly, I recently overheard on Class 95, Singapore's popular deejay Jean Danker mentioning about one wonderful effect of chocolate milk I never knew. Well, according to published scientific studies... chocolate milk actually helps athletes recover faster from strenous exercise than the usual and expensive sports drink made for that purpose, case in example Gatorade.

Apparently, in the study made, chocolate milk outperforms sports drinks in every department when it comes to enhancing the performance of atheletes who undergo high intensity physical training. Even expensive and highly engineered drinks fail to replicate these effects with chocolate milk. Nothing beats nature and wholesome foods huh.

Well, if anyone needed some additional convincing... six-time gold medalist Michael Phelps for one drank Carnation Instant Breakfast before his races at the 2004 Summer Olympics. And soccer's very own Wayne Rooney goes for milkshakes after intensive training sessions. Fans who pay attention will note Rooney's exceptional capability to recover quickly from his past injuries... maybe its all just down to chocolate milkshake?!?!

All I know is, there is now a good enough reason for those who don't think about exercising to start exercising again...
