Metabolic Stress, RECOVERY, Muscle, Gut, Digestion, Absorption

Metabolic stress occurs when the body has to work harder than usual, such as during intense exercise, as in bodybuilding.

It occurs when the energy the body needs exceeds what it has available. Exercise-induced metabolic stress can be a part of muscle development in healthy adults. It can help improve fitness over time.

On the other hand, distress-related metabolic stress is different. It happens when the body experiences stress from non-physical sources, like emotional or mental stress. This type of stress can negatively affect physiology and is often linked to issues like anxiety or burnout.

While metabolic stress from exercise can be constructive, distress-related metabolic stress can be counterproductive to overall well-being.

Either way, in ancient sciences and holistic practices, the gut, digestion, and nutrient absorption play a major role in muscle development and supporting the body during metabolic stress of any type. A substantial focus lies on good digestion and nutrient uptake, as several natural foods provide anti-inflammatory and anti-stress actions that support recovery from exerted metabolic processes.

Natural foods, as well as adaptogens like Amla, Tulsi, Triphla and Ashwagandha, are categorised as helpful in the above.

This video explores Intentional RECOVERY, focusing on the relationship of several factors in Muscle development.
