Another health and fitness thread anyone?

I'm having a little trouble getting the swelling to come out as I age. Days of workouts and work stress just build it up. Right now it's like I need to stop working out for 5 days and just focus on getting the crap out of my body. I stay hydrated and eat enough to recover.

Any of you all have any tips to reduce swelling?

 

After the holiday weekend I took this week off. Ready to get back at it on Monday. Can't tell you how many beers and Vodka my body has taken on in the last 7 days.

 

I use a supplement from Wilderness Athlete called Midnight Build. Take about 30 minutes before bed, definitely helps improve sleep quality and recovery from a tough workout.

I buy their multivitamin on a monthly subscription and this product every three months or so. I think I can get you a promo code for a discount off your first order through the refer-a-friend program.

Maybe you should do an elimination diet to see whatscontributing to your inflammation. That or go carnivore then add things back one thing at a time. Like any thing that has soybean oils, or plants like tomato or spinach research what causes inflammation and figure out how much of that is in your diet...just a thought

 

^this

Dairy, sugar, gluten are also inflammatory in some...

or look into Tom Brady's diet which focuses on anti inflammatory foods...

 

Thank you to all three or you, I really appreciate those suggestions and will do my best. Every time I reduce overall swelling my mood and energy improves.

 

This is why many go keto but then full on carnivore. I admit though I'm a fruitaholic ,as it were. I just can't give up mixed green salads yet as well as fruit.

 

Hey Jim, I hope not, time will tell. I’m going to be somewhat conservative for now. I’m going to try some Dry Needling and possibly PRP injection first.

Gentle Art my a$$…. For sure I’ve been constantly injured somewhere in varying degrees since I started. For some reason I love it and miss being able to train. Time will tell how that plays out.

 

what do you mean by swelling? Swelling in the feet and ankles?

 

Just general build up. Like I can feel general tightness in my body like I'm clearing out the junk in my body more slowly.

Mine was fill 4 5 gal jugs. Walking them to the Gator and lifting them up into the back....lifting them to fill the back pack sprayer then walking back and forth with the 5 gallons on my back spraying. Filled twice. Mowing a couple of acres,takes more work than you'd think. Weeded the garden and picked lettuce. Took A.J. for a walk. Did the basement and second story stair 12 times yesterday. Just started counting that because I was curious. Oh before 7a.m. I had 8 pairs of jeans and 10 shirts starched and iron. I refer to this as my steaming, it gets dang hot ironing for a couple of hours..

 

I continue to have some good workouts and keep trying to add volume. Sat I ran 20 mins and did bodyweight leg stuff. Sunday I walked for an hr with just a 25lb pack and did 150 pushups along the way. Today it is smoking hot and humid. Ran a mile and did pullups on the soccer goal along the way.

Clean and Press x 1
Push Press x 2

Great work. Bet you are feeling like you are in good shape. Nice job.

 

You ain’t lying. I actually do feel great and am actually starting to “like” running.

You start running 7min miles or below and your cardiovascular system is way better than most. Good work!
