Magnesium is a mineral found in the body that is responsible for…
* Regulating blood pressure
* Maintaining heart health
* Energy production
* Nerve function
* Protein synthesis
* Health bone formation
* regulating sleep cycles

Magnesium helps with muscle recovery by binding to sites in the body, helping the muscles relax. If the body has too much calcium, this will compete against the magnesium, therefore resulting in cramps and muscle spasms.

Ways in which you can incorporate magnesium into your diet and lifestyle is to either bathe in Epsom salts, magnesium powder, eat green leafy veggies, legumes, seeds, pure cacao (found in chocolate such as Loving Earth) and whole grains.

At BLYSS we stock @trueprotein ZMA zinc and magnesium blend. Selected flavours of blood orange and pineapple are sure to help with you muscle recovery as well as provide many more health benefits. If you are interested please ask our friendly staff for some advice.

Did you know??? Every day our bodies go through a constant cycle of both tissue breakdown and tissue repair?

The time we spend in each will vary depending on a number of factors such as age, activity level, nutrition, hydration, general wellbeing etc.

For athletes, this process will be typically higher;
- Protein synthesis (creation)
- Protein degradation (breakdown)

Ideally, we must get an adequate amount of protein to enhance both protein synthesis and promote muscle anabolism where both recovery and performance are concerned.

Getting in an adequate amount of all macronutrients and micronutrients is essential however protein specifically:

• Aids hormone production/function
• Helps to regulate glucose
• Helps to regulate hunger
• Can Increase enzyme production (Over 5,000 reactions in the body are regulated by enzymes and without them, the body would not function efficiently or to operate properly).
• Can improve digestion and absorption
• Can improve immune function
• Promotes anabolism
• Helps to improve recovery and performance
• Increases energy production
• Reduces tissue breakdown

When consuming protein, it is important to consider;
• The quality of protein
• The quantity of protein
• The timing when consumed
• Protein digestion
• Protein supplementation

We recommend seeking guidance from a nutrition professional to ensure the above is considered and applied correctly.

Protein recommendations for athletes:
🔹Elite athletes- 1.0-1.6g per kg/day.
🔹Intermittent intensity athletes: 1.4-1.7g per kg/day.
🔹Resistance training athletes- 1.4-2.0g per kg/day.

Myofascial Release (MFR) is a form of Deep Tissue

Myofascial Release (MFR) is a form of Deep Tissue Bodywork. Myofascial Release assists to facilitate changes in dysfunctional tissue, by effectively stretching and sculpting the constricted soft tissue. This releases muscular contractions that are restricting movement. 🙌

The reduction in tissue contractions leads to postural alignment changes.

Myofascia resembles a stocking wrapping around muscle spindle, muscles and muscles groups. Fascia joins at the end of muscles to become tendons. Fascia is inter-connective and wraps around all muscles and muscle groups but also wraps around blood vessels, organs and bones and determines the posture of the body.

A disruption to the connective tissue can be caused by any trauma, be it; physical, mental, emotional or spiritual stress. Any disruption in the soft tissue can create tight muscles and knots restricting free movement during dynamic and static movement.

Fascial layers are both deep and superficial and when there is a distortion or tension in one area of the body it can affect another.

Fascia in its optimal state should be moist and loose allowing balanced movement and mobility of the body. Lack of full movement and continual stress in fascia causes it to become thick and rigid. Fascia layers can begin to adhere to each other causing the area to become knotted.

The shoulders, neck, upper back are common areas where this occurs. Habitual movement patterns or lack of movement can cause the fascia to stick in a systematic way, with much of this stress being accumulated in the connective fascia.

To maintain healthy tissue, muscles, mobility and posture see a therapist for a MFR. 🤍

Simply, Myofacial release benefits include:
•Greater mobility of joints and increased range of movement
•Increased blood supply to the area worked.
•Toxins and other waste products released from tissues.
•Wellness & breathing enhanced.
•Attitudinal changes towards greater positivity.
