Tip#1: Drink Fluids

The first thing you will want to do is make sure you get plenty of fluids so you can stay as hydrated as possible. Water is the best thing you can drink, but it’s okay to drink tea, milk, orange juice, and other nutritional items. Skip the sugary beverages that will just dehydrate you and add extra empty calories to your diet.

Tip #2: Don’t Skip Meals

When you are recovering, you may not always feel completely hungry. But you are going to need all the energy you can get in order to recover. It is best not to skip a meal, even if you only eat a little bit. Eat on a regular basis and stick to a regular meal schedule to get your body back on track. If you don’t feel like a whole meal, grab an apple or a handful of nuts to give your body a little energy.

Tip #3: Stock Up On Fresh Items

If you have a lot of candy and junk lying around when you are recovering, you’ll eat it! It’s a good idea to stock up on fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, and other healthy items that can help you get the nutrients you need into your body so you can recover faster. Getting nutrients into your system is a key part of the recovery process.

Tip# 4: Eat Protein

Your body will need the energy to restore itself so you will want to make sure you have protein in your diet. Eat lean meats like chicken, turkey, fish, or even lean beef. If you are not a meat-eater, get the beans and other items in order to help your strength level start to rise.

Tip# 5: Connect With Others On One Foot

Recovery can be lonely. Not only are you separated from many routine activities and friends, but the ideal time can easily turn to snack time. Instead, connect with others recovering on one foot. There are lots of forums online. There you can get tips, answers, and inspiration for a better recovery.
