This article proposes that exercise-induced inflammation is not the enemy, but may be a crucial part of the recovery process. I would never take an ice-bath post exercise because it sounds painful. Now we know that it also decreases gains in strength. Anti-inflammatory meds may slow healing. Concentrate on getting adequate sleep, nutrition, and rest days post exercise rather than popping anti-inflammatories, anti-oxidants, and doing excessive icing.
