If there is a complicated stretch in an athlete's season, it will be the injury period. Athletes by nature need to compete and finding themselves out of competition can be frustrating. On the one hand, nutrition can play an important role in helping to prevent injuries if we are able to achieve an anti-inflammatory state of the organism through food. On the other hand, once the athlete is already injured, it will be very important to control this nutrition in order to accelerate the recovery process so that they can return to competition as soon as possible and, most importantly, so that they do not relapse from the injury.
