It’s easy to get discouraged when you get injured, but it is important to understand you can do a lot to help your recovery process.
Here are 3 things you can do to optimize your body’s healing environment:
1️⃣ Sleep Like It’s Your Job: The vast majority of tissue repair and growth hormone release happens while you’re asleep. Therefore, is important to increase the amount and quality of sleep while you are injured.
2️⃣ Eat for Recovery: Myth bust time. Do not slash your calories just because your training volume dropped. Healing is an energy-expensive process! Your body requires adequate calories and high-quality protein to rebuild structural tissue.
3️⃣ Manage Your Stress: Physical and emotional stress tax the body the same. High systemic stress stalls the healing process. Managing stress isn’t just about escaping it. It’s about building the coping mechanisms to handle it without letting it drain your battery.
Take control of your healing journey!
