Why you should include turmeric into your healthy diet.
If you have been exercising seriously for a while you might have noticed that a few weeks in you lose that fire in your workouts or you find you have hit a plateau in your progress. If this is you, you might want to look at enhancing your recovery.
In this article written by Nutritionist Kimberly Taylor she will tell us about how turmeric can support your bodies natural recovery functions.
“The secret to achieving high-level conditioning is effective recovery and this is exactly where turmeric excels, reducing recovery time and increasing peak performance and endurance.
Poor recovery after exercise includes extensive muscle and joint pain, lethargy, sleep disturbances, high risk of injury and possible nausea and exhaustion. It typically lasts for 2-3 days and reduces athletes’ ability for peak performance and obtaining a high-level condition.
Studies have shown turmeric enhances muscle after exertion leading to faster restoration of the muscle tissue. This is due to the curcumin, the active constituent in turmeric, acting directly on new muscle cells to increase growth and function. The affects of curcumin on muscle tissue were rapid with noticeable stimulation of muscle cell regeneration after just a few days.”
In clinical experience, the use of turmeric in a treatment plan for peak performance, endurance and optimum recovery post-exercise has worked successfully in India for years”
