Five steps to muscle recovery

Get yourself back in shape for your next workout faster with these tips


Top-up with cinnamon

Half a teaspoon twice a day in coffee reduces muscle inflammation.


Have a Brazilean Tea

Reduces pain and swelling like ibuprofen. Drink 2-3 cups the day before a workout for faster recovery.


Go hot and cold

Take your muscles from one limit to the other to enhance your recovery. Press an ice pack against your sore muscle for a minute, then submerge it in hot water for a minute. Alternate 12 times to be ready for your next muscle-blast.


Avoid the sauna

It may be relaxing, but making your way to the hot room straight after resistance or weight training can impair your performance for days after.

Drink tea (black & red)

A compound in your cuppa triggers insulin secretion, which lowers the amount of sugar in red blood cells. Sip a cup of black tea after your workout to reduce blood pressure by more than 40%.
