No pain, all gain: 5 tips to ease muscle soreness after workout

Body soreness is a common sign after a heavy workout. However, the body needs to get enough recovery. Here are five tips to ease muscle soreness after a workout. 

Hydrate

Water plays a vital role in muscle recovery. Hydration helps relieve muscle tension and soreness. 

Stretching

Stretching after a workout helps relax the muscles. Since the muscles are already warm, the increased blood flow also helps boost the healing process. 

Get good sleep

Sleep is essential for muscle recovery. Sleep deprivation can impair muscular endurance and strength. 

Eat a protein-rich diet

Protein is crucial for muscle recovery. Protein-rich foods such as oats and eggs contain essential amino acids necessary to repair and rebuild muscles.

Take salt water bath

A salt water bath can help relax the muscles and relieve pain.
