Muscle pain - KINNIKUTSU

What kind of disease is it?


<Occurs when muscles are damaged by exercise>
Muscle soreness is something that everyone has experienced; it occurs in the muscles that have been used and can last from the day after exercise to a few days afterwards.
Muscles span joints and are attached to bones at both ends. These muscles move the body by stretching and contracting.
However, when a muscle is trying to contract, if you try to stretch the muscle and exert force, damage to the muscle tissue occurs. For example, this happens when you hold on in arm wrestling even though you feel like you are about to lose.
Muscle pain is said to be caused by the muscle damage and inflammation that occurs in this way.
The symptoms usually reach their peak about six days after exercise, and then gradually subside even if you do not do anything.

<The white of raw eggs inhibits the absorption of biotin>
○ Biotin is a nutrient that has the effect of relieving muscle pain through its nutritional component . Biotin is a vitamin that helps in the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins, and plays a role in extracting energy. When you experience muscle pain, it is a good idea to eat foods that are high in biotin, such as liver, sardines, peanuts, and eggs.
However, the whites of raw eggs contain a compound that binds with biotin in the stomach and intestines, inhibiting its absorption. As long as you don't eat a large amount of raw eggs every day, there's no problem, but you can get more biotin efficiently by eating cooked eggs.
In addition, IPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) is effective in suppressing muscle inflammation. IPA is found in large amounts in fish such as yellowtail, kinki, sardines, and fatty tuna.
In addition, vitamin B1 and calcium are also nutrients that you should take in to prevent muscle pain.
Vitamin B1 helps convert carbohydrates into energy in the body, and if you don't get enough of it, your muscles will become weaker and you won't be able to contract properly. Also, if you don't get enough calcium, your muscles won't contract properly, they will become stiff, and you will be more likely to suffer from muscle pain and cramps.
Vitamin B1 is found in pork, eel, flounder, peanuts, etc., while calcium is found in milk and dairy products, small fish such as smelt, vegetables such as komatsuna, and seaweed such as hijiki.

《どんな病気か?》


〈運動によって筋肉が損傷を受けることで起こる〉
 だれにでも経験がある筋肉痛(きんにくつう)は、運動をした日の翌日から数日後にかけて、使った筋肉に痛みが起こるものです。
 筋肉は、関節をまたいで、その両端が骨に付着しています。この筋肉が伸びたり縮んだりすることで体を動かしています。
 ところが、筋肉が収縮しようとしているとき、逆に筋肉を引き伸ばして力をだすような動きをすると、筋組織に損傷が起こります。たとえば、腕ずもうで、負けそうになりながらねばっているときなどが、その状態です。
 筋肉痛は、こうして起こった筋肉の損傷と炎症によって引き起こされるといわれます。
 運動をした日から6日後くらいのあいだにもっともはげしくなり、その後はなにもしなくても徐々におさまっていくのがふつうです。

〈生たまごの白身はビオチンの吸収を阻害する〉
○栄養成分としての働きから
 筋肉痛を緩和する働きがある栄養素はビオチンです。ビオチンは、糖質や脂質、たんぱく質の代謝(たいしゃ)を助け、エネルギーをとりだす役割を受けもつビタミンです。筋肉痛が起こったときには、レバー、イワシ、ピーナッツ、たまごなど、ビオチンを多く含む食品をとるといいでしょう。
 ただし、生たまごの白身には、胃や腸でビオチンと結合し、吸収を阻害する成分が含まれています。毎日大量に生たまごを食べなければ問題ありませんが、たまごは加熱して食べたほうが、むだなくビオチンを摂取できます。
 また、筋肉の炎症を抑えるのにはIPA(イコサペンタエン酸)が効果的です。IPAは、ハマチ、キンキ、イワシ、マグロのトロなどの魚に多く含まれています。
 そのほか、ビタミンB1やカルシウムも筋肉痛の予防のためにはとっておきたい栄養素です。
 ビタミンB1には、糖質が体内でエネルギーにかわるのを補助する働きがあり、不足するとエネルギー不足になって筋肉の働きが鈍くなります。また、カルシウムが不足すると筋肉の収縮がうまくいかなくなり、硬直して、筋肉痛やけいれんを引き起こしやすくなります。
 ビタミンB1は豚肉、ウナギ、カレイ、ピーナッツなどに含まれ、カルシウムは牛乳や乳製品、ワカサギなどの小魚、コマツナなどの野菜、ヒジキなどの海藻類に含まれています。
