Caffeine
No one would expect caffeine as a remedy for pain. Most people drink coffee for energy to keep them up for the entire day. This remedy might seem controversial, but it’s more of a pain-preventing measure. It works for people who regularly exercise. Getting a cup of coffee before hitting the gym can help reduce soreness after exercising by about 50%. It contains anti-inflammatory properties that help deal with pain. It also boosts energy and allows people to do more reps. It can be challenging to keep pushing when the weights get heavier or the frequency increases. With a cup of coffee before the gym, exercising becomes easier.
However, the downside is caffeine can be addictive. For people suffering from caffeine addiction, this option isn’t advisable. The effect may also be the opposite for some people. If the pain doesn’t go away or worsens due to the coffee intake, it’s best not to continue this remedy.
