Anyway, my ankle is taking a
very long time to heal so I’m taking that adv with a pinch of
salt
His adv has been good so far
and I hv noticed an overall improvement in my general
health
The only adv I’ve not been
able to follow is that he told me to stop drinking coffee but I
told him no coffee I no need to work already >.<”
I’m supposed to sleep earlier
too but I don’t see that happening as well.
He got it wrong with the ice.
Ice is important in the early stages of
swelling. That is when you really need to constrict the blood
vessels to reduce the buildup of fluid that causes the
swelling.
Ice will only be detrimental in the long run,
since long-run vasoconstriction will reduce the flow of nutrients
and oxygen-rich blood to the injury site. Basically, you should
stop using ice once the swelling has gone down.
A few minutes of having fewer nutrients is far less detrimental
than having the injured area swell to kingdom come.
