In addition to a healthy diet (see page on Nutritional Medicine) and regular exercise, adequate sleep (8 to 9 hours per night), relaxation, moderation in drinking habits, healthy and happy social interactions and a positive attitude contribute to our energy levels.
Illness, fatigue, anxiety, depression, hypothyroidism, diabetes and other health conditions drain our energy. Apart from mental fatigue, muscle fatigue is quite common and relates to an accumulation in lactic acid in the muscles.
Exercise-induced muscle damage resulting in pain and soreness can impair physical performance in sporting activities and training. This tissue trauma triggers inflammation and can cause connective tissue damage associated with free radical production.
At View to Health, our naturopath will design an alkalising diet to reduce lactic acid build-up in muscles and prescribe supplements to reduce muscle soreness and discomfort during strenuous exercise or physical activity to which we are not accustomed.
This special diet will also have anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties to counteract oxidative stress, thus reducing delayed onset of muscle soreness.
For a natural treatment for pain, muscle fatigue, to increase energy levels and to improve physical performance, contact our naturopath at View to Health today.
