How To Reduce Muscle Inflamation and Muscle Soreness with Anti-inflammatory Foods!



Muscle inflamation is a very common issue after workouts. After hearing a lot of talk about how sore people are, I decided to give you some tips to help reduce muscle soreness after hard workouts.

If you're sore for days after a workout, many times nutrient timing can reducethis muscle inflamation. So here goes:

Eat within 15 minutes from the end of your workout
  • By eating immediately after your workout, you will allow your muscles to take in the necessary nutrients to build and repair your lean muscle tissue. You will increase recovery time and reduce soreness.

A protein & complex carb meal is best immediately after a workout.

  • Shakes and smoothies are actually absorbed more quickly by the body, thus speeding up your recovery time. Think a 4:1 carb:protein ratio for your post workout meal/snack.

Get your Omega-3's!

  • Sources include: flax seed, cold water fish (salmon) and fish oil supplements. Look for ones with EPA and DHA Omega-3 fatty acids.

Add in some fresh fruits and/or veggies.

  • These foods are loaded with antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, electrolytes and water that bring down swelling and speed up recovery. Have some at every meal or snack.

My favorite foods for recovery:

  • Protein shake with fresh fruit and ground flax seeds

  • Blueberries

  • Blackberries

  • Strawberries

  • Honeydew melon

  • Watermelon

  • Green tea

  • Skim milk

  • Carrot sticks

  • Red peppers

  • Grapes

  • Lite chocolate soy milk

  • Oranges

Think colors! The more colors the bigger variety of soreness reducing nutrients (not to mention these are all great weight loss foods as well!

Other recommendations for reducing muscle inflamation and soreness include stretching immediately after a workout, foam rolling anytime, do some cardio work to warm up sore muscles then static stretch the sore ones, get a deep tissue massage (sports massage if possible) and if you are really sore use an anti-inflammatory and ice. Always drink your water throughout the day too!
