TO HAVE AFTER A WORKOUT?
You’ve likely lost a fair amount of fluids
sweating and breathing heavily. Usually, water
is an excellent option if your activity is less than
an hour and at a lower intensity. However, if
you sweat a lot or exercise for longer, choose a
drink like chocolate milk or a sports drink, or
add an electrolyte packet to your water. Sports
drinks tend to have more sugar than necessary,
so read your nutrition labels.

WHAT IS A DIGESTIVE ENZYME
SUPPLEMENT, AND DO I NEED TO BE
TAKING ONE?
A digestive enzyme supplement is a
combination of enzymes that are also found
in our bodies. Many over-the-counter
digestive enzyme supplements contain alpha-
galactosidase, a substance the body cannot
make. This enzyme helps break down fiber
found in beans, root vegetables, and some
dairy products – which can cause GI upset.
Generally, a healthy person does not need
additional enzymes to break their foods down
because the pancreas and small intestine do it
naturally. Like most supplements, these are not
regulated by the FDA, so look for certifications
from USP, NSF, or ConsumerLab.
