Chocolate Milk May Aid After Exercise |

By Julie Anderson, Omaha World-Herald Staff Writer
Milk - chocolate milk - may do a body good not just in building strong bones and teeth but also in recharging muscles exhausted by strenuous exercise.
A recent study by Indiana University researchers indicated that cyclists who chugged chocolate milk during a break between workouts outperformed those who drank a commercial sports recovery drink with carbohydrates and protein intended to refuel the body. They also outperformed those who drank a fluid-replenishing drink.
Locally, Roberts Dairy decided to put chocolate milk to the test in its own nonscientific study. The company supplied seven members of Team Kaos, an Omaha-based amateur bicycle racing team, with a week's supply of its Vitamin D Whole Chocolate Milk in 16-ounce bottles.

Healthy Commute
By Sean McCarthy, The Reader newspaper
Estimates from the 2004 U.S. Census reported 81 percent of Omahans commute to work alone. The average commute time in Omaha is about 18 minutes. Fewer than two percent reported traveling to work in a mode other than a car, such as a bicycle.
That figure may change if fuel prices continue to fluctuate. In the past two weeks, employees at The Bike Way at 15115 Industrial Road (thebikeway.com) and Bike Masters at 5265 N. 129th St. (bikemastersomaha.com) said people have cited the rising fuel prices as one of the reasons to buy a new bike.

And, like many who took up the sport, he was inspired by following the Tour de France.
