Basic yoga practice and positions emphasize breathing techniques, improving flexibility, and focusing the mind. As the yogi advances in their practice more poses may be added to the practitioner’s library. These more advanced poses can require greater strength and endurance. To help the body to adapt to the increased physical demands the principles of sports nutrition can be put into practice.
The foundational nutrition program will help to maintain physical energy levels and give the body what it needs to function optimally. When the body is functioning at a higher level the focus and attention paid to practice can improve. Having this foundation in place will make the addition of muscle recovery protein to the diet more beneficial and help the yogi attain the more advanced poses.
Joint health can also arise as a concern. One way to protect and even help with the regeneration of the cartilage in joints a person can add a glucosamine-based supplement. An excellent product contains glucosamine hydrochloride, cat’s claw extract (plant bark), boron, and other trace minerals. To help take care of the occasional sore muscles or joints on a short term basis you can also use a menthol-based pain relief cream. Listed below is a very effective, fast-acting cream.
