Here are a few of the potential culprits and associated things that I have tried or that I ve had others try that seemed to help significantly. A banana is an excellent source of potassium, and it seems that my body appreciates the assistance.
Sports drinks contain electrolytes that the body loses during a long workout.
Nutrition the body obviously requires fuel to function. The body is primarily built to function on carbohydrates. There is additional research out there that suggests that there is a benefit to eating in the 30 minutes after a workout, as the energy stores in the muscles have been somewhat depleted, and are anxious to replenish. In my case, I try to pay close attention to my nutrition plan. That banana I mentioned earlier, smeared with a little peanut butter, and a big glass of slightly chilled water serves to give me a bit of carbs, fat, and protein.
