Ways To Prevent Tissue Damage?

By Jacob Russell


Soft tissue injury is just what the name indicates : injury to any of the softer tissues of the body. Such injuries can happen in the skin, muscles, ligaments and tendons. They're commonly caused by overuse and impact.

These kind of wounds are not unusual in athletes, but can happen to anyone and are frequently spotted after a tedious day of gardening, doing work round the house, and doing repetitive heavy lifting in the workplace.

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

Sadly, soft tissue injuries can take a long while to heal, often weeks, months or perhaps even years dependent on the acuteness. Treating the injury swiftly and correctly is vital to aiding the body in the process of recovery.

What are the leading indicators of soft tissue damage?

The extremity and nature of soft tissue injury symptoms will change dependent on the cause and location. Besides the most obvious discomfort you'll feel, other local symptoms can include :

-inflammation in the concerned area

-redness

-muscle cramps

-muscle weakness

-increase and drop off in pain dependent on use and rest of areas 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 add muscle after an exercise session. They also get brought to the muscle fibres and augment 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 high 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.

In brief 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 top quality whey protein. In fact , while we may not fully understand the complex healing processes going on inside 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 recovering from an injury, it needs enormous amounts of energy to try the recovery process and get you well again. And that needs good nutritive support including good protein. Your food is your fuel. So make sure it's premium grade.
