Howdy!
There is a really interesting article on Yahoo Today that discussed the if sports drinks were better than water. i will post the link below. However, it talks about skim milk as a healthy alternative, i would avoid this because skim milk is actually blue and has color added to make it white, so you should stick to WHOLE milk. Other than that, my recommendation is Coconut Water, it is high in potassium, antioxidants, and other minerals and is delicious. It also has half the calories than a sports drink. Great for a hangover day as well...

Food vs. Food, who will win...
Howdy,
I just read an article on Yahoo! health about different foods and their nutritional properites. Here are the results.
Strawberries vs. Blueberries -- Blueberries Win
Higher antioxidant properties to help with immune system and reduce muscle tissue damage form exercise.
Recipe - put blueberries in hamburger patties to increase moisture.
Chicken Breast vs. Turkey Breast -- Turkey Wins
More protein, more Iron, More Arnold, more Selenium (antioxidant to protect cells from FrEe RaDiCaLs and Heart Disease.
Recipe - Buy a sodium free turkey and cut your own meat.
Peanut Butter vs. Almond Butter -- Almond Butter Flawless Victory
Almond Butter has more, Calcium, magnesium (muscle contraction), 3x Vitamin E
Recipe - Eat with Apple. I know very creative.
Spinach vs. Kale -- Kale Wins
My first question was, what in the hell is Kale and how can I buy it, do I freebase it or what?
4x more Vitamin C and 1.5x Vitamin A and K. Makes Bone Protein for The Situation.
Recipe - Make Kale Chips, not cow chips, by placing it on a baking sheet, spray with Olive Oil (buy this from me) and season with sea salt. bake for 15 min.
Quinoa (Kee Wan)vs. Brown Rice --- Quinoa by a mile (not a grain, Paleo Friendly)
3 more grams of PROTEIN! plus more Fiber, Iron, and Magnesium... plus Brown Rice cheated on its SAT's.
See what Mark says about it CLICK ME NOW
Olive Oil vs. Canola OIL ---- should i even say it
Olive oil has more anit-inflammatory compounds than canola oil,
Recipes - use it to cook, make dips, pesto, and vinaigrettes. Plus I import premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Infused EVOO as well.
Cow's Milk vs. THE GOAT - Goat wins
More Omega-3 Fats, calcium, phosphours, Magnesium and CLA (reduces body Fat)
Recipes - It will do your body good.
As always
