Best Foods for Recovery After Long Hours of Manual Labor?

Lately, I’ve been pushing hard with manual labor setting up gear for events, hauling equipment, and working long hours on my feet. By the end of the day, my muscles are fried, and I’m dealing with serious stiffness. I know nutrition plays a big role in recovery, but I’m not sure where to start. What are your go-to foods or meals for reducing inflammation and speeding up recovery? I’m especially curious about quick, easy options since I’m usually short on time between gigs. Any favorite anti-inflammatory snacks or post-workout staples you swear by?

grab some bananas and almonds for quick energy, and chug tart cherry juice after work kills inflammation fast. Hard-boiled eggs and Greek yogurt are clutch when you’re rushing between gigs. Stay hydrated, water with lemon helps more than you think.

Oh, that’s really helpful… I’ll try the tart cherry juice. Thanks for the tips.

Ah, this reminds me of my grandma’s simple yet effective remedies. She always swore by hard-boiled eggs and lemon water too some things never change.

Nice! Tart cherry juice works wonders for me too. Hope it helps!
