Muscle pain is familiar to everyone who has been actively involved in sports at least once. After intense training, during which the muscle fibers are torn apart, aching pain begins to be felt. Sometimes it is so strong that it interferes with the usual activities.
There is a huge amount of useful information, but not all tips are effective. This happens because each person's muscles are developed individually. Someone after stretching helps a hot bath, which must be taken immediately after exercise, and someone may even need pain medication.
Sometimes taking sweets helps. Almost all sweets contain glucose, which promotes the elimination of lactic acid. Muscles heal faster, respectively, and pain sensations decrease. You can also eat hematogen, but not more than 2 packs per day, because an excess of vitamin C causes an allergic reaction.
Most often, muscle pain is felt more severe on the second day after training. Therefore, if you have serious plans, then do not overload your muscles the day before.
Gentle stretching is a good way to relieve pain. Do some warm-up exercises, warm up your muscles, and then get down to the appropriate exercises. For the most efficient result, you should perform this "charge" 2 times a day.
Sometimes a cool bath will relieve excessive tension and muscle pain very well. After this procedure, the muscles tone up, lactic acid is released from them faster, the blood begins to circulate better - all this contributes to the active restoration of damaged fibers. The water temperature should be around 25 ° C. The water can be made a little warmer if you feel it is too cold for you. 5-10 minutes will be enough for this pleasant procedure.
Of course, the best healer is a night's sleep. During this time, the muscles recover more efficiently than in the waking state. For muscle pain, trainers and doctors recommend sleeping at least 10 hours, and to build muscle mass, you need to sleep at least 9 hours a day. In the morning, you will feel that the pain has decreased significantly.
