Nutrition and Injury Recovery: The Best Foods to Speed up Healing Time
Anti-Inflammatory Fats

Anti-inflammatory fats have shown great promise in the acceleration of healing. Research suggests that EPA (a component of fish oil) speeds recovery time of injured ligaments by improving the rate of cell regeneration. These fats also reduce inflammation in injured tissue allowing the body to perform its natural healing functions. Foods that contain these fats include oily fish, nuts, flaxseed and chia seeds.
