glycemic index and post-exercise recovery

The glycemic index refers to a measurement system that ranks carbohydrates based on their impact on blood sugar levels. It helps identify how quickly a food can raise blood glucose levels after consumption. Post-exercise recovery pertains to the period after physical activity, where the body needs sufficient nutrients and rest to restore energy stores, repair muscle tissues, and reduce inflammation. It is important to consume carbohydrates with a moderate to high glycemic index during this phase to replenish glycogen stores and aid in efficient recovery.
