Why does muscle pain occur after exercise?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

Post-exercise muscle soreness \u2013 also known as delayed onset muscle soreness<\/strong> \u2013 is most common in people who are embarking on a new or intense exercise regimen. Delayed onset muscle soreness typically occurs 12\u201372 hours after exercise and is the result of microscopic damage to muscle fibers during the eccentric portion of a movement (e.g., lowering a weight). <\/p>\n\n

Damaged muscle fibers trigger an inflammatory response<\/strong> , which activates the process of muscle repair and growth. Although this is a normal physiological process, it can cause discomfort, reduced mobility, and even interfere with daily activities. (1*)<\/p>\n\n

Natural ways to reduce muscle pain<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

1. Active regeneration<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Instead of resting completely after intense exercise, we recommend light exercise<\/strong> , such as walking, cycling, or stretching. This increases blood circulation and speeds up the removal of metabolic waste from the muscles. (2*)<\/p>\n\n

2. Cold-heat therapy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

The combination of cooling and heating has been proven to reduce pain and stimulate blood circulation in the muscles. REMIGAL GEL<\/strong> is a natural solution that works in two ways \u2013 cooling and heating the muscles<\/strong> , which contributes to their relaxation and faster recovery.<\/p>\n\n

3. Massage<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Studies show that massage can reduce DOMS and inflammation as early as 24 hours after exercise. (3*) It is recommended to use an ointment such as REMIGAL ointment, as it combines the mechanical effect of massage<\/strong> and biologically active ingredients<\/strong> for additional relaxation.<\/p>\n\n

4. Adequate hydration and nutrition<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Intake of fluids, proteins and antioxidants (vitamin C, E) helps reduce oxidative stress and muscle regeneration. Foods rich in omega-3 fats (salmon, flaxseed) also have anti-inflammatory effects. (4*)<\/p>\n\n

REMIGAL GEL contains menthol<\/strong> , which causes a pleasant cooling effect, and capsaicin<\/strong> , which increases blood circulation with a mild warming effect. This combination works on two levels: <\/p>\n\n
