Help! Why Do My Muscles Hurt?
When muscles are required to work harder than they’re used to or in a different way, it’s believed to cause microscopic damage to the muscle fibers, resulting in muscle soreness or stiffness. People that can experience this more often are nurses, doctors, firefighters, construction workers, chefs, etc. These are the types of lifestyles that need more TLC but probably aren’t giving themselves the extra love. Plus, BCAAs!
What are BCAAs?
BCAAs are the essential amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine, which comprise around 35% of your body’s muscle protein. They are called “essential” because your body doesn’t make them on its own. They’re the building blocks of protein. But these particular aminos in BCAAs help preserve muscle glycogen stores, which fuel your muscles and minimize protein breakdown hard work.
