10 Nutrition Tips for Recovery After an Injury

● MSM– a compound which occurs naturally in the body; MSM is great for
healing nerve tissue, joints and skin as well as helping with pain.
● Glucosamine– an amino sugar found in prawns, lobster and crabs,
glucosamine is a hero for joints and a natural healer.
● Chondroitin– commonly used as a treatment for bone and joint
ailments, chondroitin can be found in some kinds of fish but is largely
bought as a powder supplement.
Whilst all three of these nutrients can help recovery from an injury, for the best
results, all of these should be taken together.
Ready to Have a Speedy Recovery?
When recovering from an injury, we often have to sacrifice doing the things
that we love, such as going to the gym, playing sports and even socialising.
Rest and recuperation are, however, vital for recovery, and trying to do too
much too soon can make the problem worse.
As well as getting plenty of rest, proper nutrition is key to your recovery.
Increasing your intake of some or all of the foods mentioned in this article can
have a big impact on the effectiveness of your recovery, as well as the time
that it takes.
An active lifestyle is extremely important for our physical and mental
well-being, and an injury which takes a long time to recover from can have a
very real impact. It’s therefore important to add these vital nutrients to your
diet not just during recovery from injury and illness but as a regular part of
your diet.
