Rebuilding process

Our bodies are desperately seeking both carbohydrates and protein following a workout in order to replenish lost glycogen stores and begin the rebuilding process. Fortunately, a wonderful window of opportunity presents itself right at the time we need refueling the most.
 
For an hour or so after a workout your body's ability to absorb and utilize nutrients is exceptionally high. Imagine yourself as a sponge with the action of exercise wringing you out. When you release that sponge it's very absorbent and will soak up all kind of nutrients, especially what your hungry muscles are craving. This is an opportunity you do not want to miss.
 
With a well-timed protein shake following a workout, you not only replenish and refuel yourself, you also shift gears from the catabolic environment created as a result of exercise to the anabolic environment that begins the growth, recovery and repair process. This high absorption window of opportunity is unfortunately short-lived. If you do not reload during that first critical hour, chances are you will linger in a catabolic state for hours, delaying the recovery process and reducing the opportunity for growth and adaptation to take place.
