Jumpstart Your Workout With Honey
farmeric November 11th, 2009
Get more out of your workout with a surprising pick-me-up. A recent study of competitive bicyclists showed that honey gives you as big an energy jolt as glucose, the sugar used in sports gels and energy bars. 
Both honey and glucose boosted the bike riders leg power and cut the time it took them to finish their race. Honey, though, has the added advantage of being much cheaper.
See for yourself if this natural sweetener gives you the energy to make it through a tougher workout. Before starting this, wash down a tablespoon of honey with a cup of water. Any time you need an extra boost of energy during your workout, do the same.
Use it after your workout!
Try it after your exercise, too. A post-workout spoonful appears to help your muscles recuperate. That’s because honey is a great source of carbohydrates, and your body needs them to replace the ones you burned.
