Instructions: Select ONE option per meal. This protocol is specifically engineered for rest days or post-competition windows. It focuses on flushing lactic acid, reducing Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS), and repairing micro-tears using high-antioxidant and alkalizing food profiles.
| Hydration: Consume 5–6 litres of fluid to flush metabolic waste (edema) associated with severe muscle damage. Use natural diuretics like celery or asparagus.
| Fats: Rely on anti-inflammatory fats (Omega-3s, walnuts, flax) to mitigate systemic inflammation and down-regulate the sympathetic nervous system.
