]]> If you’re a runner or your workouts tend to include a lot of high-impact movement, there’s a good chance you’ve experienced inflammation in your lower legs, otherwise known as shin splints, at one point or another. Beyond being a real pain in the… well, shins, shin splints can also make exercise difficult and lead to stress fractures if not treated properly. Read on to learn more about what causes shin splints and how to take care of your legs when you’ve got them.

What are Shin Splints?

Shin splints can include pain, soreness, or mild swelling in the lower legs along the inner edge of the shinbone and are most commonly experienced by high-impact athletes like runners and dancers. While they can present at any time, shin splints usually arise as a result of sudden increases in physical activity. Other causes can include improper footwear or poor running form.

Prevention

The most effective way to prevent shin splints involves a combination of wearing proper footwear with adequate arch support and increasing the intensity and duration of your activities gradually to allow your muscles time to adapt. Practice exercises like wall shin raises to strengthen the lower legs, making sure to warm up before workouts and cool down afterward to reduce stress on your shins.

Caring for Shin Splints

For existing shin splints, it’s crucial to prioritize rest to allow your muscles time to recover. Ice the affected area for up to 20 minutes a few times a day to reduce inflammation, and try using compression sleeves for support. For more serious pain, talk to your doctor or physical therapist to make sure your shin splints haven’t caused a stress fracture.

]]> Inflammation is a natural process that occurs when the body experiences injury or infection, but when it becomes chronic, inflammation can lead to all kinds of health complications. To strengthen your immune system and keep the effects of inflammation at bay, it’s crucial to maintain healthy habits. Regular exercise, in particular, is one of the most effective ways to combat inflammation, though not all forms of exercise are created equal. Long, high-intensity workouts have actually been shown to increase certain markers of inflammation, while low-impact routines tend to combat inflammation the most. Read on to learn more about some of our favorite anti-inflammatory exercises. 

Walking

Walking is a simple, low-impact activity that’s accessible to almost everyone, and it just so happens to be fantastic for your health. Research has shown that just 20 minutes of power walking releases chemicals that regulate the body’s inflammatory response. Try walking in nature for even more anti-inflammatory as well as mental health benefits.

Yoga

By improving circulation and calming the nervous system, yoga offers a holistic approach to physical and mental well-being that continues to benefit our bodies even once we’ve left the mat. Its combination of gentle movements, deep breathing, and meditation have been shown to decrease levels of inflammatory markers, such as C-reactive protein, in the body.

Rebounding

When we were kids, there were few things we enjoyed more than jumping on the trampoline. Fortunately, it turns out, this activity is good for much more than just having a fun time. Rebounding, or jumping on a mini-trampoline, has become a popular activity over the last few years as a low-impact way to reduce inflammation. It also stimulates the lymphatic system, which can help flush out toxins and water retention.

]]> Exercise is a fantastic way to keep yourself fit, but the activity can also leave your muscles and joints feeling a little worse for wear.

Depending on which stretches and positions you included in your routine, you may be experiencing inflammation and pain post-workout. While soaking in an ice bath or using a heating pack can help, a new study has found another way. 

According to research published in Frontiers in Nutrition, almonds gave the ability to improve muscle recovery, reduce fatigue and tension after exercising, and ease soreness.

This was discovered by splitting 64 adults into two groups. One group was given two ounces of almonds to eat every day, for four weeks.

The blood and urine of all the participants were examined following a HIIT workout, as well as over the next few days. It was found that the almond intake boosted the production of mediators which regulate immunity, energy, and inflammation.

In addition to this, almonds are loaded with protein, carbs, fat, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, and fiber. The nuts have also shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and stabilize blood sugar, making it a superfood.

Yogurt

Not only is yogurt a good source of protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats, as well as probiotic bacteria, it’s easy to swallow with a soft texture. A pot of yogurt when you have a sore throat will fulfill all your needed macros and it will help you to feel better.

Oatmeal

Oatmeal is rich in magnesium, zinc, and antioxidants, which will help to rid the body of infection. It’s also filling and soft to eat.

Fruit Smoothies

Fruit smoothies are a great way to get tons of vitamins and minerals into your body in one glass. Kale, celery, and berries are great additions to fight your sore throat. Add an orange for some vitamin C and use some crushed ice to soothe the pain away.

Apples

Apples are an anti-inflammatory food and are packed with fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants, so can help reduce inflammation in the throat and speed up recovery. Sugar-free applesauce also does the trick if it is too painful to bite into an actual apple.

Berries

Fan of fruit? Opt for berries that are well-known for their anti-inflammatory properties. Pick dark-colored ones like blackberries as they have more anthocyanins.

Root Veggies

As far as the root vegetable list goes, the best ones for your swelled joints are garlic, onion, ginger, and turmeric.

Pineapple

Pineapple is a delicious fruit that you can snack on if you want to reduce inflammation and pain connected to arthritis. Chop up a raw plant for the best effect instead of getting canned pineapple slices.
