what to eat
WHAT you eat can have a huge impact on the health of your shoulders, says nutritionist Shona Wilkinson ( shonawilkinson.com). Especially as our shoulders are often the place we feel pain after a workout. So, eat plenty of pineapple: it contains proteolytic enzymes, such as bromelain — an anti-inflammatory, which can help reduce any swelling. Ginger can also reduce muscle pain and protect against damage during exercise. Try adding it to casseroles and soups for an easy flavour boost. Garlic, too, has naturally occurring anti-inflammatory properties.
