Physical injury happens. Whether it is an overuse injury or an acute injury, what you eat can make a big impact on your recovery. After an injury or orthopedic surgery, one of the biggest goals is to heal fully. With the greatest amount of attention given to rest and rehabilitation, nutrition is often an underutilized tool in the comeback journey. Whole foods offer some of the best nutrition and include components that work synergistically to get you back in motion. While you can’t out supplement a poor diet, there are supplements that can support a whole foods approach
Injuries that benefit from attention to nutrition include:
- Connective tissue (skin, cartilage, tendon, ligaments)
- Muscle strain and tears
- Bone (stress reaction, fracture, breaks)
- Concussions
- Post-Op recovery
