Nothing like a fruit to recover. Yes, but must we still know which one?

- The banana for endurance sports (cycling, jogging, step ...).
With 85 kcal / 100 g, it provides energy quickly available, its slow and fast sugars facilitate the synthesis of glycogen. After a prolonged and intense effort, it is the ideal fruit to refuel, its contributions to rebalance losses of minerals, especially potassium. And also: fresh grapes, prunes and dried apricots.

- Citrus (orange, grapefruit ...) for fast-paced sports (tennis, squash ...).
Rich in citric acid and minerals, they promote fast recovery. They fight against the acidity produced by the body during a major muscular effort and brief. And their vitamin C content neutralizes the production of free radicals that engender exercise. And also: kiwi, fruits of the Passion.

- The apple for soft sports (gym, yoga ...).
It brings a range of minerals , trace elements and vitamins that can rebalance after an effort not overly demanding the body. Rich in water, it rehydrates; sweet, she gives a whiplash. And also: pear, plum, peach.
