INJURIES AND TRAINING 🏋🏻‍♀️

If like me, you have an injury, in my case a broken and stitched up finger, you'll probably want to do whatever you can to make sure you don't miss a workout, but this can work against you.

If you continue training, or return to training too soon, you can increase your chance of developing a chronic injury. On the other hand, if you take too much time off, you will lose much of what you worked so hard to build.

In order to speed up the recovery process NUTRITION is key! 🍉 🍎 🍌 🌶 🌽 🍅

Healing from an injury can take weeks or even months but you can dramatically accelerate the healing process by getting adequate nutrition and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Healing is largely dependent on blood supply, 🩸 and the stronger the blood supply, the faster you can heal because blood supplies the injured area with important oxygen and nutrients which help the injury heal.

Certain foods can promote inflammation within the body, while others have an anti-inflammatory effect

Avoid inflammation-promoting foods such as fried foods, processed white flour, eggplant 🍆 , cayenne, tomatoes 🍅, potatoes 🥔 , and hot peppers🌶 , and eat more foods that are high in omega-3 fatty acids.

Be sure to drink plenty of fresh juices 🥤 made from fresh, organic, raw veggies, because raw veggies are high in important enzymes and vitamins that can speed up the healing process.

Garlic 🧄 , radishes, and beetroots are especially helpful. You can also mix in a bit of fresh ginger; ginger has powerful anti-inflammatory properties and helps reduce pain and soreness.

Jumping jacks put up the heart rate burning calories same as running 🏃‍♀️. They make you use muscles in your legs, bum, arms, back, and abs. They work coordination and flexibility in the shoulders and hips.

INTERESTING FACT
Losing weight is all about burning daily calories and using fat stores for energy. But if you run on an empty tank it will work against your goals.

When you don’t feed your body the right energy sources and amounts, it goes into starvation mode! Without enough energy (i.e., calories) to keep those going, your body will tap into its own sources — which include both stored fat and muscle. Lose muscle, and your metabolism slows down. Since muscle burns more calories than fat, that’s totally counter-productive to your goals.
