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 occur in the skin, muscles, ligaments and tendons. They're frequently caused by overuse and impact.

These type of injuries aren't unusual in athletes, but can happen to anybody and are sometimes noticed after a tedious day of gardening, doing work round the house, and doing repetitive heavy lifting at work.

While a great preventive measure against soft tissue damage is stretching before excessive exercise and focusing on the body's alert signals, what number of us basically stretch before gardening or cleaning out the garage? Even well-trained sportsmen are widely known for not stretching properly. Then we feel the pain after it is too late.

Sadly, soft tissue wounds can take a while to fix, frequently weeks, months or even years dependent on the acuteness. Treating the injury swiftly and properly is crucial to assisting the body in the process of recovery.

What are the leading indications of soft tissue damage?

The severity and nature of soft tissue injury symptoms will vary dependent on the cause and location. Beside the most obvious agony you'll feel, other localized symptoms may often include :

-inflammation in the affected area

-redness

-muscle cramps

-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?

In simple terms proteins like those in whey are made of amino acids. These amino acids help your body build muscle after a session. They also get brought to the muscle fibres and enhance the recovery process post-injury.

Undenatured whey protein, a by-product of cheese production, has the highest known levels of branched chain amino acids of any natural food source. It's these raised levels that give whey protein its name for being so effective at muscle tissue repair [*T]. Particularly, the amino acids glutamine and leucine help to reduce soft tissue damage.

Briefly if you have 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. Of course , while we may not fully understand the complex healing processes going on within the body, discomfort is our alert signal that something has gone wrong and the body is in major healing mode.

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