For the first thirty minutes after a workout your body is
still ready to exercise; your muscles have been innervated,
they are ready to fire (workout) when you say so, and are
not ready to begin repairing yet. After thirty minutes,
your muscles relax and begin to repair themselves. This is
when one would want to consume protein, because protein aids
in the muscle rebuilding process. So, if you consume your
post-workout protein beverage 30 min to 1 hour after your
workout, you will be helping your muscles rebuild during
their primetime rebuilding process and maximizing the
benefits of the protein you're taking.
After 2-3 hours, you should consume a regular meal (with
protein in it) to continue aiding in the muscle rebuilding
process. Do not 'treat' yourself to sweets or alcohol or
whatever, for your muscles will still be crying out for
protein and you will be feeding them sugar or alcohol or
heavy carbohydrates...they want protein. Remember 'You Are
What You Eat'? That is especially true on the days you
exercise. If you can eat properly after a workout and stay
away from 'treats', your results will come faster than you
expect.
The EWG`s research has confirmed that teenagers do indeed use more `substances` on their skin than the average person.

Surely no parent would want to justify continuing to provide something that might be slowly poisoning their children`s skin and bodies. Read More Here.

"The most important thing you need to do is get your diet under control. Without a proper diet, you can forget about losing any fat. No matter how much exercise you do, or how many supplements or diet pills you take. The simple fact of the matter is that there is no magical exercise or miracle pill that is going to help you drop that extra weight unless you get your diet straightened out.
