Food & Flexibility – The Best Nutrition for Stretching

Are you practicing stretching exercises to improve your range of motion but feeling sore, frustrated, and like you’re not making progress? If so, this video is for you.

We’ll reveal why the food you eat can make a big difference to your progress. With the proper nutritional building blocks, you can help your body to improve collagen synthesis, reduce recovery, and fight inflammation naturally.

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body, and a stretching student’s best friend. We’ll talk you through a list of foods packed with collagen-boosting micronutrients, as well as the foods that will help your muscles relax and recover. Let’s get started!

Been drawn into this because of FB advertising, every time I see you demonstrating yoga I feel positive and energised, I’m inspired and will likely take this up.

Looking forward to see what Lucas eats

I would never have thought of nutrition (beyond just good nutrition in general) as having an effect on my stretching. Thanks for opening my eyes! 🙏 Wishing you a new year full of good things, Lucas 🥰

New to your channel and loving it! You support and inspire me to stay true to the things I’ve learned the last 40+ years on my life’s journey ❤️

What a good and well-explained video (like all videos I saw from you)! Thank you. I am a vegetarian since 30 years (never had any lacks without supplementation) and I have a feeling that this nutrition keeps the body basically flexible (not saying meat is always bad if coming from "good sources" but I am sure its better not to eat much of it, maybe once a week or so). I am pretty flexible, but when I tried the supplement "MMS" (powder) after about 1 week I could feel a pretty amazing increase of flexibility. I felt like "rubber-band" indeed!

Thank you for your video and dedication to teaching, Lucas. I appreciate the simple explanations and the way you bring your own story into what you do to set an example.

As a mom and teacher, I strive to also be an example of how movement and paying attention to what we eat can help to support good health and a happy life. I would love to better understand autoimmune breakdowns in our bodies and ways people have healed and nurtured their bodies despite this interruption. Our bodies are incredible, complex, yet also somewhat simple.

Thank you for being a part of this journey called life. I find many of your videos to be beneficial and help to guide me to a deeper understanding of my own body.

May the new year be full of love and light for all, and the healing vibration of our cosmos fill all hearts and beings.

I eat as if supplements are not a thing but I take them as a bonus and I'm getting great results from this combination.

Hi! Thanx to your helpful video, I’ve learned what to look for in omega 3 supplement.
can you advise what to look for in collagen peptides for women in late forties. And how much do we need. Also what supplements are the advisable for daily intake for late forties women. Thanx!

Vitamin D may also be a big one. D deficiency is widespread and can cause muscle stiffness and musculoskeletal pain.
Also proper hydration seems to be key - many males neglect.

Zinc, copper, sulfur, vitamin C, magnesium, OMEGA 3's, turmeric, on it!

[almazabraha]

Thank you very helpful. I read that turmeric is better absorbed by the body if it mixed with black paper. Can you share how you take turmeric?
