After a really good training, it’s often inevitable for muscle inflammation to appear. There is some truth in saying “You are what you eat.”
While some foods can make things worse, there are plenty of tasty anti-inflammatory foods that can ease finger pain, swollen joints, and even symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. There is always a natural way to help you, and these foods and drinks will reduce it.
Fruits
A little fruit snack helps. Eating fruit, especially deeply colored berries like blueberries, cherries, and grapes, is always a good idea. Also, high-fat fruits like avocado and olives will get the job done.
Chocolate
Thankfully, eating healthy doesn’t mean missing out on the sweet stuff. Dark chocolate with at least 70 percent pure cocoa is the way to go.
Green Tea
The best one, green tea is there to kick up antioxidants and fight inflammation. Add some lemon juice to perk up the tea’s flavor, drink it hot or cold, and it will help your muscles.
Red Wine
Yes, red wine to the rescue! Some think it’s unhealthy, but it’s just the opposite. Up to 5 ounces (140 ml) of red wine per day for women and 10 ounces (280 ml) per day for men is recommended.
