Ginger: The CrossFitters' Secret for Recovery

CrossFit and HIIT generate massive inflammation in a short amount of time. Ginger is the ideal natural anti-inflammatory for high-intensity workouts.

Before the WOD

• Vasodilation — better oxygen delivery during intense exertion
• Thermogenesis — immediate metabolic activation
• Anti-nausea — intense WODs often cause nausea

After the WOD

• 25% less muscle soreness — crucial when training 5-6×/week
• COX-2 inhibition — without the gastrointestinal effects of NSAIDs
• Accelerated muscle recovery — quicker return to the box

Sugar sabotages your gains

Post-WOD sugar activates NF-κB (inflammation) and blocks mTOR (protein synthesis). Zero sugar = better recovery = better gains.
