Injury or surgery can create damage to soft tissue and joints resulting in inflammation and initiating the demand to repair. The primary objective is to reduce the inflammation and support repair with different proteins and cofactors as well as bone repair molecules as needed.
Diet & Lifestyle Targets
- Reduce inflammatory Starch and Sugar, eat LEAN Protein and eat only non-inflammatory Omega 9 fat sources like Olive Oil, Almonds, Pecans, Pistachios and Avocados that are predominately non-inflammatory.
- Stress, lack of sleep, alcohol and body fat can all increase inflammation.
- Address any digestive issues or sensitivities that contribute to inflammation.
- Moderate exercise, vegetables and wild fish are inflammation reducers.
- Avoid high Omega 6 foods that promote inflammation such as fat in meat, egg yolks and seed oils.
Turn Down Inflammation
While the diet is critical, some molecules are powerful at reducing inflammatory pathway activity.
- Fish Oils, Vitamin D and Magnesium all have an essential role in managing inflammation.
- Curcumin and Boswellia lower the activity of the COX2 and 5LOX enzymes that form inflammation from Omega 6 fats from oils and meat fat.
- Systemic Enzymes are supportive of reducing inflammation in soft tissues.
Repair Collagen, Cartilage, Soft Tissues & Bone
Soft tissue and Bones require significant Collagen to be formed. The following nutrients are required to build collagen, soft tissue and bone in the body.
- Patented and studied enzyme formed Collagen Peptides from Gelita® or Amino Sculpt are superior to make collagen in the body. Copper from green vegetables and nuts and a human trial studied Silicon molecule developed in Belgium with 25 to 30% improvements in 8 weeks complete the process.
- Take a Multiple Vitamin for essential nutrients.
- Phytochemical Epicatechin found in green tea and cacao or as a supplement lowers the muscle limiting molecule myostatin in the body.
- BCAA’s, HMB and the Amino9® combination are the principal amino acids involved in muscle repair.
