Sport is good for us, it promotes our physical and mental health. Daily exercise has been proven to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and burnout, strengthen our immune system and is considered a natural anti-ageing remedy. But: Not only the training, but also the time between sessions, i.e. the regeneration, is crucial for your success.

Regardless of whether you are a professional or recreational athlete: Every workout is a strain on your body. Therefore, the muscles, bones, ligaments and tendons should be given enough time to recover and regenerate. Only then will you be fully ready for action again. However, different people need different amounts of time to recover. Because this depends on your individual fitness level.

6 tips for faster regeneration

Basically, our body is able to recover by itself (passive regeneration). However, there are also a few tricks to speed up the recovery phase and to be able to perform at full capacity again more quickly (active regeneration):

1. Cool-Down

A cool-down phase at the end of each workout means gradually coming down, for example a slower run-out in the last ten minutes of the jog. This allows the body to initiate the recovery phase more quickly.

2. Stretching

When we do sport, our muscles tense up. When we stretch them after this, they relax again and can therefore also recover more quickly.

3. Alternating shower temperature

When showering after exercise, it is best to alternate between cold and warm water and move the shower head in circular motions over the stressed parts of your body for about 30 seconds. The warm water stimulates blood circulation, the cold water can prevent sore muscles and is also good for your tendons and ligaments. For best results alternate the temperature five to eight times.

Tip: After a particularly intense workout and heavily stressed muscles, an ice bath with water at about 8 degrees is very effective. The ice bath, which should be for about five minutes, reduces the blood circulation, thus preventing bleeding into the muscles. After the ice bath, warmth then ensures improved blood circulation and thus faster regeneration. The effect is particularly intense when you go straight from the ice bath into a sauna.

4. Nutrition

After sport, we need to replenish our energy stores. A combination of carbohydrates (preferably in the form of wholemeal products) and protein is the ideal diet after exercise.

Important: After training, we should compensate for fluid loss as soon as possible. Therefore, drink plenty of water directly after training.

5. Sleep

Our body needs regular sleep phases to recover both mentally and physically. Seven to eight hours a day is ideal. Those who exercise regularly even burn calories and build muscle while sleeping.

6. Protection

Our environment plays a decisive role in our health. For example, those who are constantly under stress at work and cannot switch off will have problems sleeping and thus cannot recover sufficiently.



Negative environmental influences have also become a constant and major stress factor on our bodies. Electro smog, which is caused by mobile phone radiation, WIFI etc. among other things, has a measurable impact on our cell vitality: This decreased vitality also slows down regeneration. We simply don’t get fit as quickly and are therefore also limited in our performance. Therefore, it is important to protect ourselves from these negative effects.

If you follow these tips, you will soon notice that you recover more quickly after exercise and are back in top shape sooner. Whenever health is at stake, one factor is crucial: A holistic approach. Because it is the interplay of many different measures that leads to long-term success.

Many Competitive athletes, such as the members of the Austrian Ski Association (ÖSV) or, more recently, the German Ski Association (DSV), as well as the Swiss national ice hockey team, have been relying on memon for years. Memon technology creates a natural environment for life in which the body can regenerate to the full.
