Nutritional Advice From the Expert

The accredited, experienced and expert practitioner at Happy  Massage believes that a holistic approach to well-being includes not only physical touch but also nourishing your body from within. Here are some nutritional guidelines, I will recommend to complement your massage experience:

• Hydration: Drink plenty of water before and after your massage. Hydration supports tissue health and helps flush out toxins released during the massage.
• Balanced Diet: Consume a well-rounded diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. This provides your body with the essential nutrients it needs for optimal function.
• Anti-Inflammatory Foods: Incorporate foods with anti-inflammatory properties, such as turmeric, ginger, berries, fatty fish, and leafy greens. These foods can help reduce inflammation and support muscle recovery.
• Magnesium-Rich Foods: Magnesium is crucial for muscle relaxation. Include sources like nuts, seeds, leafy greens, and whole grains to support muscle health.
• Healthy Fats: Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts can help reduce inflammation and support cardiovascular health.
• Mindful Eating: Pay attention to how your body responds to different foods. Notice how certain foods make you feel energized and nourished, while others may lead to discomfort.
