Zhang Qiaofei, who is 172 cm tall and weighs 52 kg, has a well-proportioned figure. She is preparing to participate in the 2013 Miss Republic of China (Miss ROC) finals to be held in July. As for the secret to maintaining her figure, Zhang Qiaofei privately revealed that in addition to a balanced diet, jogging for 30 minutes every day is an important key to maintaining health.

Many people know that they need nutritional supplements after exercise. Zhang Qiaofei, who used to choose to eat chocolate and biscuits, was afraid that she would get a fat belly if she continued to do so. After guidance from her coach and recent reports in international journals that low-calorie, antioxidant raisins are suitable for quick energy replenishment after exercise and are not burdensome, she felt like she had discovered a treasure. She eats a few palm-sized raisins after exercise every day and feels that her physical strength has improved, and she is no longer worried about obesity.

Eat raisins to relieve fatigue

Fitness coach Jay Zhang also pointed out that raisins concentrate the nutrients of the whole grape, including flavonoids, potassium, iron, and the most important "glucose". For athletes, glucose can be quickly absorbed and converted into energy, helping to recover from fatigue after jogging.

An article in the international journal "Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition" pointed out that people who ate raisins were an average of 1 minute faster than those who drank water in a 5km time trial. Therefore, if you want to maintain your strength before running, or are worried about filling your stomach after eating, you can consider using raisins to help.
