Repair Injured Muscle After Workouts with Navel Oranges

Are you doing enough to protect your body after you workout? If not, navel oranges can help. Fitness experts say that people often will focus on eating and drinking before a workout in order to boost their performance but they don’t do enough to help their bodies heal after a workout. Most fitness experts recommend eating navel oranges or drinking fresh orange juice after a workout in order to give your body the nutrition it needs to repair itself. Grapefruit juice also is recommended.

Citrus fruits like navel oranges and grapefruit are full of antioxidants, which help prevent free radical damage inside the body. Free radicals can damage muscle and soft tissue. Free radicals are caused by oxygen in the blood and intense workouts can cause oxygen to build up in the blood. Eating navel oranges after a workout, or drinking navel orange juice or grapefruit juice, can eliminate those free radicals and protect your muscles and tissue from free radical damage. Your muscles also need Magnesium and other minerals to help repair any small tears or any damage to the cells that was caused by the workout. If you don’t repair that damage over time it could lead to serious injury. Navel oranges which are full of Vitamin C, Magnesium and other nutrients are a low calorie way to give your body what it needs to repair the damage before it becomes serious.

Fitness experts also say that eating navel oranges after a workout can help combat the number one problem people have after exercising which is fatigue. Many people don’t exercise everyday because they find that they are so tired the day after a strong workout they don’t have the energy to workout again. Eating navel oranges after a workout will help replenish your body and restore your electrolyte and sugar balances so that you don’t get so tired. Just eating one or two navel oranges within an hour of a good workout will give you more energy and you’ll find that the next day you have more energy too. Fitness gurus tell their private clients to make sure they have plenty of navel oranges and other citrus fruits on hand and eat them liberally after a workout to make sure they stay healthy. You can exercise everyday and get all the benefits of regular exercise if you start eating navel oranges after you workout to make sure that your body is as healthy as possible.
