Milk: the Perfect Post-Workout Drink
 
Next time you finish a tough workout, you may want to reach for Nesquik instead of Gatorade. A new study shows that muscles recover more quickly when a person drinks low-fat chocolate milk after strenuous exercise, rather than high-carbohydrate recovery beverages.

In the James Madison University study, 13 male college soccer players trained for a week, drinking either chocolate milk or an energy drink branded as a "recovery beverage." While both groups performed and rated their muscle soreness similarly, the milk-drinkers had far lower levels of cretine kinase, an indicator of muscle damage. Researchers say the chocolate milk has an ideal ratio of carbohydrates to protein and was more effective in repairing muscle damage.

Other studies suggest that when consumed after exercise, milk's blend of high-quality protein and carbohydrates can help refuel exhausted muscles. Milk also rehydrates the body, and is packed with essential minerals such as calcium, potassium and magnesium that need to be replaced after strenuous activity.

The two-hour window after a workout is a crucial, yet often a neglected part of a fitness routine. A good recovery routine should replace fluids and nutrients lost in sweat, and help muscles recover.

Gay intern helped save Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' life
Chicago Pride; Jan 9, 2011; By GoPride Newstaff

Tucson, AZ --- A young intern, who had only been working for Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) for five days, is being described as a hero and is credited in helping save the congresswoman's life after she was shot in the head in Tucson Saturday.

20-year-old Hernandez was volunteering at the community event and was standing just feet away from Giffords when Jared Loughner opened fire on the congresswoman. Hernandez immediately rushed to her side and tried to comfort her.

"When I heard gunshots, my first instinct was to head towards the congresswoman to make sure that she was OK," Daniel Hernandez Hernandez told ABC's "This Week" on Sunday.

"I had to lift up the congresswoman, because she was severely injured, and I wanted to make sure that she was able to breathe OK because there was so much blood," he said. "We had to grab whatever we could. And because we were outside of a grocery store, the employees from the grocery store brought out smocks that are used by the meat department that were clean, so that we may use them as bandages, because that was really the only clean cloth that we had."

"The congresswoman was alert. She was able to hold my hand when I asked her if she could hear me," said Hernendez.

Hernandez, a junior at the University of Arizona, is gay and is a member of the City of Tucson Commission on Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Issues. "She's been a great ally to the LGBT community," Hernandez said of Giffords during an interview with the Dallas Voice.

Giffords is a member of the House LGBT Equality Caucus and is a strong supporter of gay rights, including gay marriage.

A 9-year-old girl, who was the granddaughter of former Yankees and Mets manger Dallas Green, Arizona Federal Court Judge John Roll and an aide to the congresswoman, Gabe Zimmerman, were killed in the tragic shooting on Saturday.
