Geary’s Post-Workout Nutrition

After your workout your body has lost some fluids and muscle tissues begin to break down. The most beneficial activity is to have a proper meal. It may be the most important meal of the day. After you complete a vigorous workout, your body is in a catabolic state where your muscle glycogen is depleted and the cortisol levels are increasing. Your primary objective should be to reverse the catabolic state to an anabolic state. You receive the most benefit by eating an easily digestible meal as soon as possible.

Get Some Exercise

Once you have been diagnosed with diabetes, the first thing you here from your doctor is to “get some exercise”. Pretty soon everyone is jumping on the bandwagon and pointing out to you just how important it is to “get some exercise”. I know, I suffer Type 2 diabetes, but I have learnt how to control the disease, and getting exercise is an important part of that control. At first you think how can I possibly exercise, it was probably this mindset, and lack of exercise, that brought on the disease. You are probably well overweight, a major contributor to the disease, and the feelings of apprehension set in, how can I possibly exercise.
