Muscle Atrophy Hampering Runners

By Chet Sandeksi


Running can be a great way to keep your body healthy and ensure that you are getting your exercise in on a daily basis. There are a lot of people that struggle running simply because their bodies are not accustomed to the exercise and their mind is not accustomed to the exercise.

Becoming a better runner can take time and you will want to take time investing yourself in the process of becoming a better runner, to ensure that this is what you want. While you are figuring out how to become a better runner, you may want to start running with a group.

First, when you are smoking you will find that this habit often slows your healing process. The healing process is often integral to ensuring that you can minimize the visibility of scars and it is important that you stop smoking when you want to get rid of your scars.

Smoking can be a difficult habit to break and you may not be able to break the habit of smoking on your own. Reaching out and getting the help that you need can be a great way to ensure that you are able to quit smoking in a healthy manner and you can stick with this lifestyle change.

Second, you should avoid drinking alcohol. When you drink alcohol you dehydrate your body and your skin which can inhibit your skins ability to reproduce and replace the skin around the area that you haves been scarred. Rather than drinking alcohol, try to keep your body hydrated by drinking enough water. When you drink water you will be hydrating your body and your skin to ensure that your skin is able to reproduce and help your scar diminish in color and texture.

Third, caring for the site of the incision can also help you minimize your chances of scarring. When you have an incision from an electrosurgical procedure or any other type of surgery, you should keep it sterilized and follow your doctor's orders concerning the incision site.

While you are working on pushing through your training routine for a race, you may not want to forget the importance of taking a break. You can seriously injure yourself running and you want to make sure that your body is rested and prepared for each run that you take on.

If you find that you have injured yourself, there may be situations in which you need surgery. If you are trying to get back to running quickly, you will want to find a way to minimize the healing time and the invasive nature of the surgery that you are going to have.

As you continue to heal, meet with your doctor and discuss what you have been doing for your scar. Talking with your doctor about your options and ensuring that your scars are taken care of is a great way to be able to recover from your surgery.

Eventually, you may find that your scar is not very noticeable. Although some scars may never leave completely, you may be able to find ways to make sure that it fades and that the surrounding skin is always healthy.
