Hi, I'm Ben Greenfield. I'm an exercise physiologist, a nutritionist, and I also love to work out. But what I don't like is that feeling of stiffness and soreness when I roll out of bed in the morning. But the fact is that our ancestors left us with a host of wisdom when it comes to being able to tap into the natural compounds that surround us, that allow our bodies to be able to recover far more quickly. We're talking about compounds that you might be familiar with, like ginger or turmeric or even tart cherry, which has some fascinating recovery studies behind it. There are also ingredients that you might not be as familiar with, but that are also natural compounds that support recovery and joint comfort. We're talking about things like glucosamine, chondroitin, and cetyl myristoliate, a fatty acid that's wonderful for your joints. When you combine all of these natural compounds together, you would be blown away at how good your body can feel, at how quickly you can bounce back, and how much more equipped and enabled you are to be able to crush life and to go out and embark upon those adventures that you really want to achieve without your body holding you back. So hunt down some of these natural compounds for recovery, and I hope this has been helpful for you.
