Can our food choices really provide any benefit when recovering from a physical injury? As it turns out, yes, they can! Although we most commonly place an emphasis on our physical rehab and rehab exercises when trying to overcome an injury, we are also learning that what we choose to eat in an injured phase can actually have a positive or negative impact on our recovery.In this episode I'm joined by Lead Nutritionist Charity King from Freshwater Nutrition who is a wealth of knowledge on the topic. Charity walks us through:Foods that may cause an inflammatory response;Which foods may reduce inflammation;Foods that promote muscle and tissue repair and healing;Whether or not a few (alcoholic!) drinks can have a negative impact on your recovery;How to avoid nutritional deficiencies when managing an injury; andWhy you should avoid a dieting or weight loss phase when recovering from an injury.If you've ever been faced with an injury or are currently managing an injury, then this is an episode you don't want to miss.Links referenced in episode:Super Size Me - "The Smoking Fry"UK Doctor Switches to 80% Ultra Processed Food DietFreshwater Nutrition offers online and in-person consults for individuals, couples, families and friends with the goal of helping people create a balance of happy and healthy.
