How Do You Relieve Sore Muscles After Exercise

It might seem odd,but it makes me feel good to know my muscles are sore and I have worked myself hard to build strength after a long work out. But sometimes you want to relieve sore muscles and pains,this is what you can do to help relieve those aches and pains that bother you.

Many people think that it’s crucial to stretch before and after they exercise to help ward off any soreness of the muscles. If you stretch too much while your muscles are throbbing after the workout,you may do more harm than good.

So keep stretching limited and relaxed so you don't put a strain on your muscles and get an injury.

During the stretching you can tear the muscle fiber,which can take a long time to heal and will limit your activities until it heals.Which can slow your progress down with your exercising regimen.

Either you can sprain or strain,although both have their differences,you are more likely to pull muscles.Stopping your exercise routine while you wait for the muscle to repair can be frustrating and delay you.

Stretching only works if your muscles are loose and warmed up.Otherwise you risk injury.

Light warm ups before you workout can maximize your stretching. The soreness you feel in you body after working out is because of the tiny tears that occur when you work them hard.

By the time your muscles repair,your muscles grow bigger and stronger. So some soreness is a good thing.

You should carefully adjust into a exercise program instead of rigorous training right away.

I've made the mistake of thinking because I'm athletic I can easily get involved in any physical activity. This is wrong. Various activities require and use different muscles to perform different functions.

If some soreness of the muscles occurs,give light exercise a try. Things like small walks and a laid back bike ride are ideal. The idea is to keep your muscles loose without putting additional strain on your muscles.

First aid for injuries usually involves placing ice on the area from 15 to 20 minutes. After an hour has passed apply heat for 15 to 20 minutes for the next hour or so. Bathing in a hot tub can help to relax you and your muscles.

Maybe a light massage is right for you?

Massages help to bring more blood to the the affected areas and help remove the lactic acid that causes soreness in your muscles. Many over counter creams for sore muscles exist to help ease your discomfort.

Just by following these tips,you can enjoy your workouts and know how to get rid of sore muscles too!

Natural Remedies for Headaches

Headaches affect nearly everyone at some time or other. Rather than reaching for drugs that can have bad side effects it is better to look for a natural remedy for headache instead.

But first it is a good idea to determine the cause of your headache. There are many different causes from stress through to sinus infection, so what will help one type of headache may not necessarily help another type.

Migraines are the worst kind of headache and sufferers are often affected for several days at a time when a migraine strikes. They may have other symptoms such as seeing flashing lights, nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to smells or sounds.

Doctors don’t know much about migraines except that they are often triggered by one specific thing such as stress or lack of sleep or even the menstrual cycle.

Cluster headaches also cause intense pain but often come in clusters of several weeks before going into remission. They can also cause high blood pressure as other intense pain often can.

Tension headaches are non threatening and much milder in nature than the two previously mentioned types. They can be caused by stress and worry or by tension in the muscles of the head and neck.

Inflammatory headaches can be caused by sinus infections and respiratory illnesses such as colds and flu. Sudden searing headaches can be brought on by a brain tumor, stroke or aneurysms.

Always see a doctor for these types of headaches. And of course headaches can be caused by a blow to the dead or a fall.

There are many natural remedies for headache that can give the sufferer certain relief.

If your headache is not of the worst kind you can try some home remedies and may find better relief than if you took prescription pills. Here are some remedies.

* Learning relaxation and breathing techniques can often help to prevent headaches.

* A drink of warm water and honey will often provide relief, due to the potassium and magnesium in the honey.

* A gentle massage of the face, neck and head will relax the tense muscles and often provide relief.

* If you suffer from migraine it is wise to keep a journal noting what you ate just before a migraine attack and in this way you can identify and avoid triggers.

* Wearing sunglasses will often prevent a headache that is caused by glare.

* Having regular meals and plenty of sleep can help you avoid headaches.

* Keeping noise levels down can also prevent headaches.

* To relieve a sinus headache the best thing is to clear your head of the stuffiness.

This can often be accomplished by breathing in steam and rubbing your chest and throat with a liniment like Vicks.

* Garlic, horseradish and Echinacea can also help to clear the head and dry up sinus secretions, thus easing the headache they cause.
