Certain foods are crucial to help recover from an injury. When we have damaged tissue, like a torn muscle or tendon, our body needs specific nutrients to heal stronger, and faster.
Healthy diet > Supplements
Vitamins and minerals from a food source are SUPERIOR to taking a supplement. Healthy food offers hundreds of antioxidants, carotenoids, flavonoids, and minerals not found in supplements! Additionally, when we eat a health diet, our body automatically maximizes absorption of "the good stuff", and eliminates what we don't need. Taking supplements can result in extremely high, or toxic, levels of vitamins, which can be harmful.
Assess your diet FIRST before taking supplements to ensure your body is getting what it needs to heal.
