How You Can Repair Tissue Damage

By Marc Jones


Soft tissue injury is just what the name suggests : injury to any of the soft tissues of the body. Such wounds can occur in the skin, muscles, tendons and ligaments. They're commonly due to overuse and impact.

These sort of wounds are not unusual in athletes, but can happen to any person and are frequently spotted after a long day of gardening, doing work round the house, and doing incessant heavy lifting in the office.

While a great defensive measure against soft tissue damage is stretching before unnecessary exercise and listening to the body's caution signals, how many of us really stretch before gardening or clearing out the garage? Even highly trained athletes are widely known for not stretching correctly. Then we feel the discomfort after it is too late.

Sadly, soft tissue wounds can take a long while to cure, often weeks, months or even years dependent on the acuteness. Treating the injury swiftly and correctly is critical to assisting the body in the process of recovery.

What are the symptoms of soft tissue damage?

The extremity and nature of soft tissue injury symptoms will vary depending on the cause and location. Aside from the obvious discomfort you'll feel, other localized symptoms may often include :

-inflammation in the affected area

-redness

-muscle seizures

-muscle weakness

-increase and decrease in discomfort dependent on use and rest of area affected

How Does Whey Protein Support the Recovery from a Soft Tissue Injury?

In simple language proteins such as those in whey are made of amino acids. These amino acids help your body increase 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]. In particular, the amino acids glutamine and leucine help with reducing soft tissue damage.

In short , if you've 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. Of course , while we may not understand the complex healing processes going on within the body, discomfort is our warning signal that something has gone wrong and the body is in major healing mode.

Any time the body is getting over an injury, it needs huge amounts of energy to undertake the recovery process and get you well again. And that requires good nutritional support including good protein. Your food is your fuel. So take care it's premium grade.
