Recovery Ways of High Quality You Required to Know（B）

After reading last passage, you must know why recovery matters and some measurements about recovery. Now we are going to talk about how to recover from injury and illness. It seems that recovery from injury and illness only depends on time. Actually, if you take some measures, the time of recovery can be shorter.

As usual, your body has a surprising ability to recover itself after being injured and ill, even if you do little to help it. Plentiful chemical and biological reactions occur throughout all the day to help recovery. If you are injured, white blood cells which are called neutrophils rush to the site to ward off infection. Other blood cells which are called monocytes transform themselves into macrophages, to engulf dead tissue and help to control inflammation. If you break a bone, osteoblasts kick into action to knit the rough edges back together. There are so many cells assisting us in healing that we could never count them completely.

However, although the process of recovery is automatic, some things you are required to know to help speed and strengthen the recovery. The best recovery occurs when you have the ability to avoid infections of your immune system; encourage the healing of skin, nerves, bones, muscles, and tendons; and build endurance and strength. There are some effective measurements for you.



First, you should know what results in your injury or illness and then find out the right measures to cure it. If you even do not know why you are hurt, it may get you into trouble.



Being positive.

The mental part is the most important in life on the ground that it is the guide of life. If you are keeping positive, you may consider your life as bright and happy. You can solve problems confidently and they can get out of your life easier. If you are always negative towards life, you may see everything as darkness. Be positive about recovery, and believe that you can overcome it. It cannot affect your life all the time.



Eating healthily.

You may always read articles about how to eat healthily. But as you are ill, there are foods that will contribute to recovery as well. For example, vitamin A helps skin and bones to repair themselves. Vitamin C is vital to the formation of collagen, the main protein of our connective tissue. And enough protein plays a fundamental role in optimal healing.

Bad dietary habits often get you away from being healthy. Drinking coffee instead of breakfast as a pick-me-up might have worked fine for you in the past years. But if you are ill or injured, these time-savers are most likely cost you time, because your recovery won’t go as quickly as it might.

Eating five times a day is recommended: three small- to medium-size meals and two nutritious snacks. It helps prevent drops in blood sugar levels which can make you feel fatigued.

Drink more water. Water is the hero of recovering from illness. It flushes toxins from the system so cells can devote energy to getting well rather than fighting germs and viruses.

Carbohydrates provide energy. Carbohydrates are broken down into sugar when they were digested, but complex carbohydrates like nuts, seeds, legumes, and whole grains break down not as quick as simple carbohydrates like sugar and white bread. Since these spikes can spark inflammation and lead to damage on a cellular level, you should avoid them always, but especially when you’re healing.

Protein, the building block of cell repair, provides you with energy, too. In general, it’s good to get about 15-20% of your calories from protein, although in some conditions, such as burn recovery, may require more. If your body has undergone extensive cellular injury, talk to your doctor about your protein needs. Plant-based proteins like beans and nuts have certain advantages over animal proteins, especially when you don’t have a good appetite. In addition to owning cell-repairing properties, plant-based proteins provide phytochemicals and fiber.



Have adequate rest.

Sleep is a basic need. While you are sleeping, your body rebuilds itself and balanced hormonally. You ought to avoid drinking or eating something that could influence the quality of sleep. Don’t do many things that you are not able to afford to it. You need to adjust yourself while resting.

Take short naps in the noon for about 30 minutes. If you sleep over 40minutes, you are easy to enter a deep sleep stage that is hard to wake up and make you feel tired.



Try some simple exercises.

Simple exercises can help you heal gradually as well as contribute to your health. What you need to pay attention to is the key to exercise correctively. The most important things you should remember is warming up before starting. If you don’t, your muscles are apt to get hurt when you are exercising. Some simple exercises such as yoga, jogging, and swimming.



Quit smoking.

Doctors usually suggest quitting smoking for recovery. Because it can cause a lot of problems, including smoker’s acne, lung cancer and slowing down your recovery. Smokers are also four times more likely to get moderate acne after adolescence, especially women between the ages of 25 to 50 years old. It can also cause other skin conditions like wrinkles and premature skin aging. It does this by creating free radicals, impairing collagen production, and degrading skin proteins.



Clean yourself up.

Taking a bath and getting out of those pajamas that you've worn for a whole day will send your mind into healthy zone. Doing the things all day can trick your mind into believing you're no longer ill. And the clothes you wore for a day usually are breeding grounds for germs, and making you sicker, so get out of them, take a bath, and brush your teeth. You will feel much better after bathing.
