Oxytocin and mood: real anti-anxiety effect?

Heat helps relax muscles, soreness eased

Big spikes definitely worsen systemic inflammation

Stable glucose keeps recovery much smoother

Feels good but recovery unchanged

Helps stiffness, DOMS still lingers

Spikes matter, context and frequency matte

Protein first helps blunt glucose spikes

Helps circulation, soreness still present

Blood sugar control supports joint health

Nice for sleep after leg day

Warmth calms legs, DOMS remains

Pairs well with stretching sessions

Diet quality matters more than spikes

Carbs timed well reduce inflammation risk

Helps me move not heal
