Easy Nutrition Tips for Injury Recovery
Easy Nutrition Tips for Injury Recovery
If you are someone who likes to be active, enjoys a natural lifestyle, and have suffered an injury in the past, then you know how frustrating the recovering process can be. In many cases, treatments are focused only on either therapeutic exercises or painkillers and other types of pills, but not at PhysioChiroWellness! Our integrated approach encourages patients to look at distinctive factors that may help injury recovery. Naturopathy, of course, is one of the modalities we offer and that may be beneficial to you.
When dealing with an injury, not a lot of people consider their food intake. A naturopathic doctor may help you with this. Though naturopathic doctors are NOT nutritionists, they do specialize in healing the body through natural therapies, and have a wide understanding on how food can affect the body. A naturopathic doctor will focus on controlling inflammation, promote wound healing, and current any metabolic imbalances.
TIPS
Protein
Increasing daily protein intake is essential to counterattack any post-injury muscle breakdown.
Carbs
Measure your carbs intake. They can positive when maintaining calories but could lead to gaining weight, specially if you are recovering from a surgery.
Omega-3
A good amount of good fats is formidable for reducing inflammation. Omega-3 is the perfect example of this.
Vitamin A
This vitamin promotes cell growth, boosts immune system, and promotes bone development.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C functions as a regulator of vitamin in the blood, as well as, supports activity for proper metabolism
