Some Spanish researchers say that having a beer after your workout can actually benefit you. Cool, but can I count walking to the fridge as a “workout?”
Beer can help someone who has sweat regain liquid better than water, the bubbles help to quench thirst and the carbohydrate in beer help replace lost calories, Spanish researchers say.
The study results came from testing students asked to do strenuous exercises in 104-degree temperatures. They were then split into two groups, one given beer and other water to help them recover.
The hydration effect in those who drank beer was “slightly better” than those who drank water, said study leader, professor Manuel Garzon of Granada University.
“Slightly better…”
Good enough for me.
