Drinking milk after weight training exercise is being proved to be more effective to build muscle burn fat at the same time compared with consuming energy drinks that contain sugar. These results are published in the Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise journal. Several previous studies found that men who drink milk after exercising increases their muscle mass and fat decreases.

To determine whether the same thing also occurs in women, the research team conducted research during the previous three months which has never done resistance training. Two hours before exercise, they should not be allowed to eat and only drank water.

After running a routine exercise, respondents were divided into two groups. First, who drank 500 milligrams of white non-fat milk and the second are those who received sugar-based energy drink.

Resistance exercises or training conducted by resisting a particular style may not be the preferred type of exercise by women, but benefit from this type of exercise very much.

These exercises increase bone strength, muscle, and metabolic way that can not be done other types of sports,” said Stuart M Phillips, PhD, a kinesiology expert from Canada. “We were only expecting an increase of greater muscle mass, body fat reduction was too high. It is shocking,” said Philips.

He added, experts do not know the cause, but suspected a combination of calcium, high protein, and vitamin D, which is contained in the milk be the cause.

The women who drank less milk experiencing weight gain because it increases muscle mass balanced with the reduction of body fat.

This is one of the benefits of being male. Men burn calories more efficiently than most women. This means, for the same span of time and physical activity, a man will experience a decrease in body weight more than women.

Robert Kushner, MD, director of the Nutrition and Weight Control Clinic, in Chicago said that men can burn calories faster than women because of two reasons.

First, men are usually had more body weight thus burn more calories. Second, men have more fat-burning muscle. Consequently, the basal metabolic rate (the minimum energy requirements) are generally more women 50-10 times lower than the average male.

In the anatomy, men also have an advantage. Men tend to store excess fat around the abdomen, whereas women in the thighs and buttocks area. Some experts believe that cells in abdominal fat is more metabolically active, so he can remove the fat more easily.

However, abdominal fat is closely related to metabolic syndrome diseases that can trigger heart disease, stroke and high blood pressure, compared to fat in the thighs and hips.

Although men naturally have an advantage compared to women, but no one can escape from the slowing of metabolism that will ultimately cause obesity. Therefore you need to keep your metabolism high. The trick? Do sports!
