Workout Reaching for water after your workout? You should be, but you might want to try adding something else into the mix. Watermelon juice.

A new study shows that an amino acid, L-citrulline, in watermelon reduces muscle soreness after exercise. Not only is it good to alleviate soreness, but prior studies suggest that watermelon juice seems to increase muscle protein and enhance athletic performance.

We’ve got articles covering the continuing studies of tea’s health benefits, whether or not prewashed salad is actually safe, and articles about heavy lifters, a new running shoe that’s based off space gear and made in a bra factory, and how exercise can help us learn.

Please Note: The articles and videos listed below are informative, popular, newsworthy, or a combination of all three. Just because we have included an article within FitLinks does not necessarily mean that BuiltLean supports, or agrees with its contents or views. If you have a question about our position on any article, please leave a comment and we will be happy to respond!
