The popularity of non- alcoholic beer has surged with the fantastic variety now on the market. Almost every major brewery makes one. Athletic Brewing offers a beer for every taste profile and more than a dozen flavors. Refreshing and delicious, these brews are perfect on game day, and as replenishing recovery fuel too.
Traditionally non-alcoholic beers have paled in flavor, compared to their alcoholic counterparts. Stripping the alcohol removes that beer flavor, and adding malt is what brings it back — along with all sorts of additional health benefits. Says Peeyush Maheshwari, PhD, the Founder and Principal of Food 4 Thought, “Minus the alcohol, beer is actually a nutritious beverage, and this is where malt extract makes its mark.”
The high antioxidant content in malt extract, in addition to the substantial amounts of polyphenols — plant compounds with anti-inflammatory properties — make non-alcoholic beer an ideal beverage for athletic recovery. Notably, it has become the beverage of choice for many Olympic athletes in Germany, after a 2012 study revealed that runners who drank non-alcoholic beer before and after the Munich Marathon reported less inflammation post-race than runners who drank a placebo.

Jumping rope is long known to be one of the most efficient workouts with a myriad of health and fitness benefits. It provides a full body workout by engaging multiple muscle groups, improving cardiovascular conditioning while enhancing coordination and agility. In addition, a jump rope is the most inexpensive, space-saving, portable piece of fitness equipment money can buy.
One of the most effective calorie-torching activities, studies have shown that just 10 minutes of jumping rope offers the same cardiovascular benefits as a 30-minute run. A high-intensity aerobic exercise, jumping rope has the “afterburn effect”, also known as excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC), that keeps your body burning calories even after the workout is done.
The right equipment and proper technique are essential to keep jumping long enough to gain these fitness benefits. We turned to one of the most renowned boxing trainers, Micheal Olajide Jr., for some basic tips on both. Read More
