Getting rid of an injury or preventing one is not only the responsibility of physicians, physical therapists, massage therapists or trainers. The injured person is the main responsible of his or her injury. Following this line of thought a person can influence the outcome of the pain by taking care of their health.

Their 4 pillars of the health are the following:
1. A good Diet
It is possible to prevent or control injuries with the help of an anti-inflammatory diet. Each meal should be made up of 2/3rds from the vegetable garden, 1/3rd of lean protein. In general, avoid wheat, white potato, white rice and sugar until you are leaner, stronger and feeling better. Don’t eat any cow dairy. Sheep, goat and soy cheeses are okay but in limited quantity. Following these basic guidelines will help you get rid of your injury.

2. Sufficient Exercise
People with joint pains or back pains often tend to avoid exercise, and this can be a devastating mistake. You have to find the way to do any kind of non- painful movement while you are injured. There are many different kind of exercises. Swim, bike, walk, yoga, pilates, elastic bands… they are all valid exercise options. If you want to make sure you do the right exercises you have to try Juan Reque´s PreventOK program. In this unique online program you will receive personalized exercise videos, with training specifically tailored to you and the demands of your sport. You will be able to see these exercises on your smart phone or tablet and do them at home at your own pace. You will have the opportunity to interact with Juan on a regular basis, so that he can discuss and evaluate your progress and adjust your individual training program to fully meet your needs.

3. Sleep
Without sufficient sleep, the mind and body are often incapable of healing, and frequently spiral into a degenerative cycle of decline.
Chronic sleep deficit contributes to inflammation, which is the most common triggers of pain. In addition, sleep disorders contribute to weight
gain, and also to disruptions on the natural healing process. You must try to sleep 8 hours a night. You can get away with 6 or 7 hours for a few nights, but then you have to catch up.

4. A healthy perspective on life and yourself, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
The mind- in concert with the emotions and spirit- can create inflammation. And the mind can help control it, just as it controls so many other internal functions. Your perspective on life has a dramatic impact upon inflammation. The bottom line is you have to feel good about yourself and about your role in the world to be as healthy as you can be.
