Injured? Your nutrition matters more than you think. 🦴💪
A lot of people reduce how much they eat when they’re injured because they’re moving less.
But this can actually slow down recovery.
Your body is working overtime to repair damaged tissue.
Here are a few key things that support healing:
🥩 Protein
Aim to include protein in every meal. It provides the building blocks your body uses to repair muscle, tendon and ligament tissue.
🍊 Vitamin C
Important for collagen production and tissue repair. Think fruit, berries, peppers, and vegetables.
🐟 Omega-3 fats
Found in oily fish, walnuts and flaxseeds. These can help regulate inflammation during the healing process.
🥔 Don’t cut carbs completely
Carbohydrates help fuel the healing process and support your training when you begin rehab exercises.
💧 Hydration
Dehydrated tissue doesn’t function or recover as well.
Rehab isn’t just exercises — recovery also depends on sleep, nutrition, and load management.
