Injury Healing 

NMC Nutrition designs customized, easily executable nutrition strategies personalized to each athlete's specific injury and their individual needs. This plan helps assure that they are consuming the right amounts of necessary nutrients in order to:

 

  • OPTIMIZE recovery of injury (bone, concussion, tendon, ligament, muscle)

​

  • REDUCE​

    • Excessive inflammation

    • Risk of deficiencies that can interfere with healing

    • Muscle mass loss during modified training

    • Indirect concussion symptoms, which may be caused by a hypersensitivity to imbalances of food / liquid combination, timing and ratios

"Two studies have demonstrated that an immobilized limb due to an injury can incur muscle loss at a rate of 0.5% daily. During the first 2 weeks of immobilization, an 8% muscle loss can bring about a strength loss of up to 23%."*
