Sports Injuries
Overview

Sports injuries are any type of injury that occurs while performing sports or during exercise. The most common injuries are soft tissue injuries such as strains, sprains, joint dislocations, fractures, and head injuries, all of which need to be seen by a licensed health practitioner.
The better your overall nutritional status and the overall shape your muscles are in, as well as adequate stretching and warm-up time, the less there is a likelihood that you will sustain sports injuries. Just as important is cool down time, which allows your muscles to slowly return to a neutral non-active state, helping circulation and removing acidic by-products that are caused during exercise and which can otherwise result in subsequent stiffness.
Caution: Joint dislocations, fractures, and head injuries all require immediate medical attention.

Eat an organic, whole foods diet containing healthy complex carbohydrates and quality non-processed fats (no more than 20% to 25% of diet). Also emphasize fresh organic fruits and vegetable and sufficient amounts of protein foods, which are necessary for muscle repair.
Don`t eat solid foods immediately before strenuously exercising, and drink adequate fluids an hour or so before heavy exercising, even if you do not feel thirsty, since dehydration decreases performance capabilities.
It is important to not add further toxicity to your system so try to adhere to the following:
- Do not consume any artificial sweeteners, such as Splenda, NutraSweet or Aspartame
- Do not consume high fructose corn syrup or mono-sodium glutamate.
- Do not drink any carbonated beverages.
- Avoid all fast food restaurants.
- Avoid all canned food.
- Eliminate conventional dairy products. The best dairy products are raw, unpasteurised and homogenised dairy from grass fed cows. If this is unavailable, then buy organic dairy.
- Avoid conventional beef. The best beef is organic grass fed beef. www.grasslandbeef.com/StoreFront.bok?affld=104400 The second best is organic meat; this includes beef, veal, lamb, chicken and turkey.
Supplements:
To help prevent sports injuries, supplement with vitamin B-complex, vitamin C, vitamin E, magnesium and free-from amino acids.
To recover from sports injuries, supplement with calcium, magnesiums, manganese, free-form amino acids, and proteolytic enzymes (taken away from meals).
For recover from fracture sustained while exercising, supplement with vitamin B-complex, vitamin B6, zinc, and essential fatty acids.
Other useful nutrients include selenium, the amino acids cysteine and glutathione, coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), pycnogenol, dimethyl glyciene (DMG), SOD (superoxide dismutase), and germanium sesquoxide.
- Take Vitamin D3 50,000-100,000 International Units a day for periods of 4 weeks at a time.

Prescription and non-prescription medication:
What non-prescription and prescription drugs are you taking? Your non-prescription and prescription are partially the reason that you have this illness or disease – you need to get off these medications but do so only under the guidance of a licensed health care practitioner.
