Hungry or Thirsty

Hungry or Thirsty
After a good workout, I am not hungry for a little time and then ~ I AM RAVAGING!
Sound familiar to you? If your workout was one hour or less, chances are you are thirsty NOT hungry. If prior to exercise, you did not sufficiently pre-hydrate, your body, after exercise, the stomach starts to send messages to the brain that it needs something. Often, what is needed is plain old water. Once the body is hydrated, appetite levels go down because the body’s need for water is satisfied. The hydrated brain works better; your muscles will let go of the lactic acid.
