Nutrition

Nutrition affects how muscle and connective tissue recover, but the topic attracts more confident claims than the evidence usually supports. The articles in this category cover the musculoskeletal-nutrition questions patients ask most — protein for recovery, hydration and cramps, minerals like magnesium — in hedged, plain language, and are clear about where a claim is well supported, where it is mixed, and where it is a question for your own clinician.
