Are Dry Fruits Good Post-Workout Snacks?

A handful of dried apricots(Rich in Potassium) help avoids muscle cramps post-workout. Nuts and dried fruit. As you work out, your body starts to deplete the levels of glucose in your blood and must turn to glycogen – carbohydrates stored in your liver and muscle tissue – to fuel your movement. A 4-to-1 carb-to-protein snack speeds the uptake of glycogen back into your muscles and initiates muscle building. Look for foods with the majority carbohydrates and a small amount of protein. I usually grab a handful of almonds and dried fruit, like raisins, to replenish muscle glycogen immediately post-workout. I then wait at least 20 minutes before consuming my high-protein meal.
