How To Reduce Tissue Injuries

By Trevor Johnson


Soft tissue injury is just what the name implies : injury to any of the soft tissues of the body. Such injuries can occur in the skin, muscles, tendons and ligaments. They are commonly caused by overuse and impact.

These sort of injuries are common in sportsmen, but can happen to anyone and are often spotted after a very long day of gardening, doing work around the house, and doing incessant heavy lifting at work.

While a great defensive measure against soft tissue damage is stretching before exorbitant exercise and paying attention to the body's warning signals, how many of us really stretch before gardening or cleaning out the garage? Even well-trained sportsmen are widely known for not stretching properly. Then we feel the discomfort after it's too late.

Unfortunately, soft tissue injuries can take a long time to fix, often weeks, months or perhaps years depending on the acuteness. Treating the injury fast and properly is vital to aiding the body in the healing process.

What are the leading indications of soft tissue damage?

The seriousness and nature of soft tissue injury symptoms will alter dependent on the cause and location. Beside the clear discomfort you'll feel, other localized symptoms may often include :

-inflammation in the affected area

-redness

-muscle spasms

-muscle weakness

-increase and fall in agony dependent on use and rest of area affected

How Does Whey Protein Support the Recovery from a Soft Tissue Injury?

Simply put , proteins like those in whey are made up of amino acids. These amino acids help your body increase muscle after a session. They also get sent to the muscle fibres and boost the recovery process post-injury.

Undenatured whey protein, a byproduct of cheese production, has the highest known levels of branched chain amino acids of any natural food source. It's these high levels that give whey protein its reputation for being so effective at muscle tissue repair [*T]. In particular, the amino acids glutamine and leucine help in reducing soft tissue damage.

In brief if you've suffered a soft tissue injury and you wish to speed up the recovery process, give your body the support it needs and take a high quality whey protein. In fact , while we may not fully understand the complex healing processes going on within the body, pain is our caution signal that something has gone wrong and the body is in major healing mode.

Any time the body is getting over an injury, it needs enormous amounts of energy to undertake the healing process and get you well again. And that requires good nutritional support including good protein. Your food is your fuel. So make sure it's premium grade.
