How You Can Repair Tissue Damage

By Marc Jones


Soft tissue injury is just what the name suggests : injury to any of the softer tissues of the body. Such wounds can happen in the skin, muscles, ligaments and tendons. They are usually caused by overuse and impact.

These sort of wounds aren't unusual in athletes, but can happen to anybody and are sometimes noticed after a long day of gardening, doing work round the house, and doing incessant heavy lifting at work.

While a great defensive measure against soft tissue damage is stretching before exorbitant exercise and listening to the body's caution signals, what percentage of us actually stretch before gardening or clearing out the garage? Even well trained athletes are well-known for not stretching properly. Then we feel the pain after it is too late.

Sadly, soft tissue injuries can take a long time to fix, often weeks, months or perhaps even years dependent on the severity. Treating the injury swiftly and properly is critical to helping the body in the process of recovery.

What are the symptoms of soft tissue damage?

The seriousness and nature of soft tissue injury symptoms will alter depending on the cause and location. Besides the most obvious agony you can feel, other local symptoms can include :

-inflammation in the affected area

-redness

-muscle cramps

-muscle weakness

-increase and drop off in agony dependent on use and rest of areas affected

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

In simple language proteins such as those in whey are made of amino acids. These amino acids help your body build muscle after a workout. They also get delivered 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 elevated levels that give whey protein its reputation for being so effective at muscle tissue repair[**]. Particularly, the amino acids glutamine and leucine help in reducing soft tissue damage.

Briefly if you have suffered a soft tissue injury and you want to speed up the recovery process, give your body the support it needs and take a top quality whey protein. After all , while we may not fully understand the complex healing processes going on inside the body, discomfort is our warning 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 gigantic amounts of energy to undertake the process of recovery and get you well again. And that requires good nutritive support including good protein. Your food is your fuel. So be sure it's premium grade.
