The Best Recovery Tools for Footballers
Filtering Your Screens
An amazing and quick way to improve your health and mental wellbeing is to filter out harmful blue and green light from the screens of your devices.
This light goes into the eye and causes mitochondrial dysfunction as well as brain fog.
Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy is a rabbit hole that’s extremely easy to find yourself lost in.
99% of panels on the market are not worth the time or money and are sometimes dangerous.
This because most panels are marketed using the “more is better” mentality and not science.
You need to understand flicker rate, third party nnEMF testing, and most importantly what wavelengths and at what intensities the panel is providing.
So far I’ve only seen one company to be worth investing in:
GembaRed (Only Ships in USA) ↗️
Blue Light Blocking Glasses
Did you know artificial blue light into the eye can directly lower testosterone, cause fat gain, spike cortisol, and worse tendon performance? Protect your eyes with true blue light blocking glasses.
Evening glasses need to block up to 550nm to block the blue and green light that harms your sleep.
I don’t recommend day time glasses unless you are stuck staring at a computer screen you are unable to manipulate the blue light and flicker.
Here are two different options:

Footbath
One of the best things you can do to increase healing and tissue adaptation is a warm epsom salt footbath. It would be nice to get one that is made out of wood or ceramic but those are expensive and somewhat hard to find.
At least 20 minutes with 1 cup of epsom salt in water as hot as you can handle.
Heating/Cooling Bag
Whenever it comes to strained muscles, sprained ankles, or any other kind of injury, heat is the first tool to increase blood flow and speed healing.
This bag is extremely helpful to do direct heat placement via hot water inside the bag.
It can also be used for cold if it’s a hot summer’s night and you want to decrease body temperature to sleep better.
Epsom Salt
As mentioned above, epsom salt is really great to absorb topically through the skin to help with muscle soreness, fascial fatigue, and tissue adaptation.
Both magnesium chloride and magnesium sulfate are recommended.
Ancient Minerals is a brand I trust ↗️
There are also options on Amazon ↗️
Biohacking Your Sleep
If you look online you will fine a lot of very expensive technology you can buy to track and supposedly improve your sleep. I’ve tried it all.Anything that outsources your own awareness is a trap. You know what I’m talking about. Modern technology doesn’t improve sleep, it destroys it.
You should work towards making your bedroom low-tech as possible and unplugging all devices. As well as keeping it cool and dark helps a lot.
So the real solution is to bring nature into the home to improve the air quality and electromagnetic frequency.

- Indoor plants (buy local)
Ambient Evening Light
One of the most important concepts for recovery is your light environment. This means the ambient light you are exposed to in your home (the ceiling lights, the lamps, etc).After sunset, you want zero exposure to artificial blue and green light that damages your melatonin, the most important hormone for quality sleep.
That’s why you need some form of non-flicker low EMF red light or candles to provide ambient lighting at night.

Mouth Tape
Now, mouth tape is not a fix for poor tongue posture but it is something to help the process along if you are doing the proper tongue functionality work.

Breath Belt

Most athletes underestimate the importance of their breath.
Using external reference points like the breath belt helps you gain awareness of how shallow and weak your inhale is strengthening your breathing power.
The Best Clothing for Footballers
Organic Clothing
Polyester, nylon, and other petrochemical based fibers are extremely toxic when in contact with the skin, especially when sweating and your pores are open.
We recommend to prioritize 100% organic natural fibers such as cotton, wool, cashmere, linen, and silk. Try your best to avoid blends.
Brands you can check out:
The Best Headphones for Footballers
Airpods Radiate Your BrainIt’s more important than ever to avoid exposing yourself to unnecessary radiation, especially near your brain.
Wireless technology like bluetooth has been studied for decades and has displayed negative effects on the human body via voltage gated calcium channels.
Avoid airpods and wear airtube headphones.
The Best Juicers for Footballers
A juicer is an extremely useful tool for your kitchen that will come in handy to make celery, cucumber, or even carrot juice.
The three best brands are:
- Angel Juicer
