Restoring Fluid and Electrolytes

January 12, 2010July 21, 2011 / Mmaxout Fitness | 30 Minute Daily Workouts / Leave a comment

During exercise, water and certain minerals called electrolytes are expelled from the body through perspiration. The function of perspiration is to prevent body temperature from rising during exercise, which is important, but it comes at a cost, because water and electrolytes serve important functions within the body that they can no longer serve when they are lost. The more water the body loses, the less effective the “cooling system” of perspiration becomes. Meanwhile, the electrolyte minerals sodium, magnesium, and potassium are needed for a variety of processes ranging from nutrient transport to nerve transmission.

Consuming a sports drink containing water and electrolytes during exercise is an effective way to counteract the effects of sweating. However, it is impossible to restore fluid and electrolytes as quickly as they are lost during moderate- to high-intensity exercise. Athletes must therefore make up the balance by continuing to drink after completing exercise.

By weighing themselves immediately before and after workouts, athletes can determine the amount of fluid depletion they have experienced. They should drink at least this amount of fluid in the first 30 to 45 minutes after completing a workout. Sports drinks are a better choice because they are formulated to replace water and electrolytes in approximately the same ratio in which they are lost in sweat.

January 7, 2010July 21, 2011 / Mmaxout Fitness | 30 Minute Daily Workouts / Leave a comment

This recipe serves: 4

Ingredients

For the salsa

4 ripe plum tomatoes, chopped or 12 cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
1 jalapeno chili pepper, seeded and diced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 avocado

For the chicken

1/2 cup non-fat, plain yogurt
1/2 small red onion
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, about 4 to 6 ounces each
salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

For the salsa:
1. In a small bowl, combine the tomatoes, red onion, pepper and cilantro.

2. Chop the avocado and sprinkle it with 2 tablespoons of limejuice to keep it from browning. Add the avocado and remaining limejuice to the bowl and toss to combine.
(This can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.)

For the chicken:
1. In a small food processor puree the yogurt, red onion, limejuice and cilantro to make a yogurt marinade.

2. Transfer the marinade to a shallow bowl or a plastic bag. Add the chicken and coat well with the marinade. Refrigerate for 1 hour or up to 8 hours.

3. Preheat the grill to medium-high.

4. Remove the chicken from the marinade, discard the remaining marinade and season the chicken with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken on both sides until it is cooked through, about 6 minutes per side.

5. Serve the chicken with tomato-avocado salsa.

Serving Size: 1 chicken breast with salsa
