Cerials versus sportdrink for recovery

On the Belgian site gezondheid.be you can find an article on the effect of cerails with milk on recovery after an excercise in cmoparison to the effect of sportdrinks. I don't know about you but in the Netherland we make jokes about the Belgian but as this article is on some amrican research...well judge for yourself.

In is some small scale research that has shown the following effects:

• The effect on the levels of glucose and insuline in the blood and on glycogen were simular
• The cerials resulted in a stronger dercrease in lactate, a better synthesis of proteins and a higher glycogen level in the muscles.

So you see that a simple bolw of cerials is better thant the chemical mixtures from a sportsdrink. I have to admit. this sportdrinks is easier to carry along in your sportsbag to use directly after you have done your excercises or your run.
