What are soreness and how to get rid of them at home?
Soreness is the common name for Delayed Muscle Pain Syndrome. These pain complaints appear 24 to 72 after exercise and are associated with microtrauma to the muscles. During exercise, the muscles are tense, breaking the connections between actin and myosin, and the membrane surrounding the muscle fibers is broken. Contrary to appearances, sourdoughs are not harmful or dangerous to health, and according to some theories they are even advisable. Microdamages are an impulse for the regeneration of the muscle, which becomes more durable after rebuilding.
Most people, however, do not like to deal with the pain associated with soreness, so it is worth knowing how to quickly overcome this ailment.
The home remedies for soreness include applying a warm compress to the sore spot. Thermotherapy will be soothing and help reduce discomfort. In such a situation, the Visiomed thermotherapy gel compress will be perfect.
It is also recommended to try an isotonic drink, which you can buy or prepare yourself at home. For this, it is enough to prepare water, lemon juice, a pinch of salt and a little honey. Recommended sourdough drinks include tomato juice, which helps replenish electrolyte deficiencies, as well as de-acidifying tea with baking soda.
To prevent soreness after training, you should provide a valuable post-workout meal. It is recommended to eat foods rich in protein and carbohydrates, as these ingredients are essential for muscle regeneration. The post-training meal should be eaten up to an hour after exercise. It is a good idea to prepare a cocktail because it can be prepared quickly, and in addition, the liquid form will be absorbed by the body faster. We also recommend Aqua Kick Pear Power for quick regeneration after OstroVit training.
Water as a real remedy for soreness
Water is important for an athlete not only in the context of proper hydration and fluid replenishment during training. Of course, it is also worth taking care of a proper diet, and before implementing specific dietary recommendations, it is worth consulting a doctor and doing tests.

A hot bath also has many benefits for muscle health, especially if you add sea salt or lavender oil to the bath. Try the algae-thermal salt for bathing and peeling Zabłocka and the bath and massage oil with a hint of lavender Bioherba.
Knowing that higher temperature has a soothing effect on the muscles, it is worth considering a session in the sauna. However, remember to wait a dozen or so hours after exercise. You cannot enter the sauna immediately after training. By following the instructions, you can give yourself a large dose of relaxation, reduce pain and muscle relaxation, oxygenate the body and improve blood circulation. Advantages only!
An alternating shower is a great solution. This means that the shower alternates between warm and cold water jets. Thanks to this water massage, blood vessels can be dilated, which affects the nourishment of damaged tissues.
It is also worth choosing a swimming pool. In the case of soreness, it is recommended to avoid very strenuous exercise, which would only aggravate the pain, but moderate and light exercise is a good choice. Water has a beneficial effect on muscle regeneration, so a short stay in the pool can work wonders.
Muscle sores? Try cherry juice – researchers guarantee a big improvement!
Cherries are delicious fruits with amazing health potential. These foods are a source of flavonoids and anti-cyanides, which are anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds. Indirectly, this issue was dealt with by researchers from the Vermont State University in Burlington, which in 2006 were published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. These studies show that cherry juice, taken as a mini meal before exercise, relieves muscle pain. People who drank cherry juice before exercise rated their pain intensity at an average of 2,4, and people who drink apple juice rated their pain at a level of 3,2. What’s more, the pain after the cherry juice was losing its strength the next day, and after the apple juice it grew for the next 48 hours.
Due to the health properties and nutritional value of cherries, it is worth including them in your diet not only for training, but also on a daily basis. We recommend freeze-dried cherries by weight and 100% Szczepanówka cherry juice – these and other products are available at MedonetMarket.pl.
