A Few Words About John
Dr. John Berardi’s bio is very impressive. I have known him for several years. It was great to finally chat with him and chat with him for a few minutes after the call. John comes from a research background and nutrition in performance, weight loss, muscle building, and fitness education. I have read a lot of his stuff, and I like that it is unique and grounded in research. I am sure you can search around the internet and find some massive bio of John, but that is a quick summary from my point of view.
Nutrition for Injury Recovery
Although nutrition might not be as exciting as your new pair of cleats or a new pair of gloves, it’s crucial to your overall health and recovery. Taking care of your body off the field is just as important as taking care of it on the field. If you’re recovering from an injury and you have to limit your physical activity, you might think that you don’t have to focus on your diet as much. But while you may not have to focus on making gains in the weight room, you should still pay attention to what you’re putting in your body. The right foods will help you recover from your injury faster, keep you healthy and prevent future injuries. They’ll also help you maintain your energy levels by providing the necessary vitamins and minerals your body needs to function optimally.
