Recover From Exercise Faster

” Scottish researchers found that daily consumption of small amounts of watercress prevented post-exercise muscle soreness in response to treadmill running and weight training.  The researchers speculated that the antioxidants in watercress prevented cell membrane and DNA damage in the muscle cells, which reduced the damaging effects of exercise (FitnessRx).”

 

Watercress has more calcium then milk and more iron then spinach!!   Watercress also helps to rid the body of toxins, has anti inflammatory properties, has anti cancer properties, is know as a aphrodisiac, help to control blood glucose levels, and is great for hair skin and nails.

Using watercress to recover from exercise faster, could be the best way to exercise harder and get better results!   Recovery is an important part of any exercise  program!  Add this food to your sandwiches, shakes, juices (if juicing), salads, and even water for a super detoxifying meal or beverage that could get you to your goal faster!

 

Every Healthy Choice Counts,
