I was at a swim meet yesterday and started talking about recovery drinks after working out. I then went on to share a few studies with people. I can’t promise that this make you “cool”, but you can get a few interesting discussions out of these.
- The best recovery drink is chocolate milk.
- Use sports drinks as appropriate, but don’t make them a common drink for your kids.
- Stretching is over-rated and in some cases not productive.
- Just because your kid’s at practice for 2 hours doesn’t mean he exercised for 2 hours (although this doesn’t seem to be true for swimming).
- Exercise games are good; let your kid’s play them for exercise.
- Make sure your kid gets enough sleep. Sleep effects both health and decision making capabilities (another article comparing alcohol and lack of sleep).
- Cross-training and playing multiple sports may avoid injury at an early age.
- Cheerleading is the most dangerous sport for girls, and basketball creates more injuries than any other sport.
Geroge, I like your blog, but this new design isn’t working out too well.
I can name a few things that are step back, but it may be subjective. However, vertical layout shifting caused by the carousel has to be fixed asap.
