There’s nothing like a nice cool beer

New research suggests that having a nice cool beer just after you have completed your workout can help your body recover more quickly than your average glass of water.
Professor Manuel Garzon at the University of Granada in Spain has found that it is the bubbles that do the trick. They help the body retain liquid much better than water does, and of course because beer has a calorific content this will help to replace the calories used up in the physical activity.
The results came from a test in which students who had just competed rigorous exercise were given a pint of beer or a pint of water. The athletes who drank the beer showed better hydration than those who had the water.
So make mine a large one please!
