Proven Ways
to
Speed Recovery
By- James Hundson
Get More Sleep
• While the accurate relationship between
sleep and exercise is still unclear, several
studies recommend sleep deprivation and
disorders can have a significant negative
effect on performance and recovery.
• Sleep is also major time for the body to go
through protein synthesis, so make sure to
get enough sleep for stronger muscles and
improved endurance.
Eat protein
• Breakfasts high in protein can give our
muscles the necessary ingredients to start
rebuilding and may reduce food cravings
later on in the day
• Consuming a light, protein-rich snack
before bed allows our bodies to keep
repairing muscles overnight
Hydrate & Rest Muscles
• Enhanced recovery could be just a glass
away. Exercising while dehydrated can
cause larger damage to muscles and
diminish the body’s capability to repair itself.
• Many people will suggest two days between
workouts involving the same muscle group,
there’s no one-size-fits-all solution for
recovery time.
Supplements
• Consult with a doctor before taking any
supplements, scientific research suggests
some anti-inflammatory medications and
herbs can speed muscle recovery.
• However, muscle recovery supplement
like GH Freak can significantly reduce
soreness and inflammation, so it might be
a good idea to use them carefully.
