Sufficient water intake is also extremely important for muscle recovery and making the process a bit less painful

Fantastic video! Our gyms are full of sick and unhealthy "buff" people who are only doing more damage to their body because they don't get a basic whole food diet, let alone optimal nutrition. Great information on those critical nutrients and their whole food sources, Dr. Axe.

Got it. Nice video. How much time for recovery? I take soreness time and multiply it by 2, but I'm not sure, really, and I find confusing info on the internet
