foods, nutrients or drinks with the best healing properties?

[Tago Nang Tago]

is there such a thing?

i've always heard things like green tea, hojicha tea, and other various japanese teas have great healing properties.

what about foods and other nutrients? i assume omega-3's can be considered healing, perhaps protein too?

Healing what, specifically? You have to address the ailment.
Sore muscles? Antioxidants (fruit and veg with strong color, tea, etc).
Problem joints? Cissus herb, Omega3s, MSM, Gluc/Chond.
Fatigue from dehydration? Electrolytes and trace minerals.

Then there's things that help other facets of health like aloe juice, yogurt, proteins high in omega 3s, etc.

The trick with supplementation or any kind of diet changes beyond a balanced diet is knowing what problems you're trying to address and supplementing for that problem.

As Redd Foxx said, What is it that you need healing for?

Make sure that you're eating in a caloric surplus and that your diet has a lot of protein and carbs. You'll be able to recover easilly from training. If you've got an injury that's really bad, either take time off for it to heal or try to work around it.

We can't give an opinion on all that green tea stuff because we don't know what you need healing from. Please elaborate if you can

I think you know the answer then.
Can't put shyt in the fuel tank and expect to run at full performance. Eat a typical American diet, expect to look and feel like a typical American. Supps won't fix that.
Believe me, I've tried!

Jup thats a ****ty diet for an athlete.


Foods with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals help recovery.

So blueberry, raspberrys, mango, bananas, etc help your recovery but eating that won´t help too much if you still eat like ****.

Green tea has a lot of caffeine and should only be had during the day.

Study up on the glycemic indexes of foods, vary your caloric intake, clean proteins.

How often to you train? What kind of training are you doing.

Throw in yoga, stay flexible, and rest.

Don't consume garbage calories, or do so rarely.

Do you drink soda too? H2o is best!
