Food Tip: Start with a Meatless Monday once per week and then see if you can incorporate more meatless meals from there. 

Fit Tip: Aside from passive stretching, consider other tools for your muscular recovery. Foam rolling, adequate sleep, hydration, massage, cold therapy, and an anti-inflammatory diet are ways to aid in your muscular recovery.
