Yum! Even More Benefits to Greek Yogurt



It’s important to remember to shop for healthy foods when training- not just health supplements and protein powders that will increase strength and reduce muscle fatigue. This would include anything high in protein and/or natural sugars. More specifically speaking, you may be surprised at what you can find in the organic section.

In a never-ending battle to eat healthier and improve one’s daily workout routine, there’s a myriad of new products out there to try time and time again. But What’s better than getting back to the basics of simple, natural food, like Greek Yogurt. You should be able to find it any of your local groceries, particularly in the organic section. A great example would be Chobani. Extremely rich in protein, and low in fat, a great choice for complimenting your daily workout.

Greek yogurts like Chobani contain nearly 40% of your daily protein consumption, and as little as 0% of your daily fat. Many consumers of this health food notice somewhat immediate results, including quickened muscle recovery. This is especially beneficial for weight lifters who invest a lot of money in protein powders and muscle milk. It’s also advantageous to users of treadmills and elliptical; continuous consumption provides less down time, and more exercise. Keep in mind however; Greek Yogurt will NOT simulate what some pre-workout drinks/pills do, meaning they don’t contain caffeine or nitrogen dioxide – both of which are responsible for stimulating focus and drive.

Similar drinks and products don’t typically include a no-fat/no-carb solution, so Greek Yogurt is definitely a worthy product to invest in. So practitioners of fitness: Next time you’re in the organic section of your local market, don’t forget to check out Greek Yogurt!
