There are three basic components of a successful training plan: fueling, training and recovering. The third of these is the most often looked over but ensuring that your body recovers properly is key to maintaining peak performance levels.
When it comes to recovering properly, many athletes and recovery experts swear by the benefits of Epsom salt, which is believed to reduce muscle soreness, inflammation, and swelling.
Most of us have suffered from muscle strains at some point. They happen when muscle tissue tears – usually at the same place as where the muscle meets its tendon. Muscles can tear simply from the force of your muscles contracting or when they are stretched too far. But when they happen – they hurt!
Relief from this pain can be an expensive business but Epsom salt, a magnesium sulphate compound, offers an inexpensive, completely natural and widely available treatment for strains all over the body.
Why does it help? Magnesium plays an important role in the body, helping to regulate over 300 enzymes, reduce inflammation as well as helping muscle and nerve function. So, it stands to reason that when your muscles are suffering, a boost of magnesium will help.
Products containing Epsom salt are widely recommended by physiotherapists and specialists and are used by athletes the world over as, not only does it soothe pain, but it also helps revive tired muscles.
