Aid<\/strong><strong> the healing process with these powerful tips on nutrition for injury recovery. Put the right&nbsp;eating and supplement strategies to work for you. <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Injuries happen. The question is- after they happen, how can you help the body heal?<\/p>\n<p>For most athletes and the everyday person the idea that nutrition can play a powerful role in injury recovery makes perfect sense. Yet when injury strikes, very few of us know exactly how to use nutrition to improve healing.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some best practices for using nutrition to dramatically speed up the injury recovery process for anyone whether we exercise or not.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Injury recovery: How the body works<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When tissue is damaged in the body there are 3 steps to the recovery process.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stage 1: Inflammation- the area is swollen, red, painful and hot. Healing chemicals are attracted to the injured area<\/li>\n<li>Stage 2: Proliferation- damaged tissues are removed; new blood supply and temporary tissue is built.<\/li>\n<li>Stage 3: Remodelling \u2013 Stronger more permanent tissue replaces temporary tissue.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Nutrition is important in all 3 stages.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Nutrition for Stage 1<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.delina.com.au\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-619\" src=\"http:\/\/www.delina.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Sports-injury-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"injury for nutrition\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.delina.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Sports-injury.jpg?resize=300%2C200 300w, http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.delina.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Sports-injury.jpg?resize=768%2C513 768w, http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.delina.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Sports-injury.jpg?resize=272%2C182 272w, http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.delina.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Sports-injury.jpg?w=800 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In STAGE 1: Inflammation is critical as it triggers the repair process. Too much, however, can cause additional damage. These strategies help produce the right amount:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Eat more anti-inflammatory fats such as cold pressed oils, avocado, fish oil, fish, nuts and seeds, flax oil or ground flax.<\/li>\n<li>Eat less pro-inflammatory foods such as: processed foods, take away foods, foods with trans fats, vegetable oils like canola, sunflower and soybean<\/li>\n<li>Include inflammation managing herbs and spices such as:<\/li>\n<li>Turmeric fresh\/dried (up to 7 teaspoons a day \u2013 have with a little black pepper to help absorption) or curcumin\/turmeric supplement- as directed by a professional.<\/li>\n<li>Garlic- 2-4 cloves per day<\/li>\n<li>Bromelain from pineapple \u2013 2 cups per day or a supplement taken as directed by a professional<\/li>\n<li>Cacao, tea &amp; berries \u2013 eat daily or supplement with blueberry or grape extracts, green tea extracts, citrus extracts and bioflavonoids<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Nutrition for Stage 2 &amp; 3<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Energy intake is your first priority, even though you may not be able to train your metabolism can increase by 15-50% more than when you are sedentary.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Eat adequate protein- legumes, eggs, plant-based protein, meat and fish (not processed meats). 1-1.2 gram\/kg of body weight<\/li>\n<li>Balance dietary fats from different sources such as cold pressed oils, avocado, nuts and fish oils<\/li>\n<li>Eat the rainbow \u2013 include a variety of fruits and vegetables<\/li>\n<li>Eat enough carbohydrates \u2013 you will need fewer than when you are training but enough to support your recovery- choose minimally processed carbs such as whole oats, quinoa, wholegrain rice &amp; sprouted breads.<\/li>\n<li>Supplements that may be considered for 2-4 weeks post injury (use under the direction of a professional)- Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Copper and Zinc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you have been injured and need advice on nutrition in more detail you can contact me on 0402 309 997 or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delina.com.au\">www.delina.com.au<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bubbasbikelab.com\/consultant-nutritionist.html\">http:\/\/www.bubbasbikelab.com\/consultant-nutritionist.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Yours in healthy healing<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Delina<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Not Subscribed to my Nutritional Medicine Newsletter?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>You&#8217;re missing out on additional information and recipes not included in my blog.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/eepurl.com\/b2Vx4r\">SUBSCRIBE HERE<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Food and supplements to speed up healing.
