RSI: Manage Your Pain & Inflammation W/ Nutrition

What Is An Anti-Inflammatory Diet?

What you eat has an enormous impact on the way your body functions. Your diet not only affects your level of energy throughout the day, but it can also affect your ability to recover effectively from certain injuries and illnesses. Nutrition plays a crucial role in reviving muscles and restoring your body to its prior level of functioning. Your body needs an adequate combination of the right nutrients for a healthy recovery. These include, but are not limited to: • Protein - Protein is crucial for building and repairing muscles. Baked salmon, grilled chicken, and hard-boiled eggs are great choices to meet your protein needs, while also reducing inflammation in your body. When possible, try to avoid red meet when experiencing inflammation. • Healthy Carbs - Carbs are a primary source of fuel for your body, so it is best not to try and cut them out altogether. Sweet potatoes, oatmeal, and quinoa are all excellent choices for fueling yourself with healthy carbs. Blueberries also provide healthy carbs and are rich in antioxidants. These types of carbs will boost your energy without exacerbating the inflammation in your body. • Antioxidants - Antioxidants are critical in reducing free radical damage to your body, especially the muscles, which experience the bulk of inflammation. • Vitamins - Vitamins play a crucial role in repairing muscles, tissues, and tendons. By speeding up the recovery process, vitamins can help your pain and inflammation dissipate faster. • Water – Water is crucial to an anti-inflammatory diet! It’s important to consume enough water to stay sufficiently hydrated, as inflammation can become worse with dehydration. Pain and inflammation relief is possible with the help of physical therapy. Our licensed physical therapists can help you recover as quickly as possible so you can get back to living your life without discomfort. Contact Repair Sports Institute today to get started!
