Stretching is an important part of injury recovery.

Explanation:
Stretching can help improve muscle mobility after an injury. Many physiotherapists incorporate stretching into a patient's injury rehab plan.
2

Stretching increases blood flow to your muscles.

Explanation:
Stretching increases blood flow to your muscles, helping to nourish them and eliminate waste byproducts in the muscle tissue.
3

Foods rich in complex carbs are not good pre-workout snacks.

Explanation:
Foods rich in complex carbs are great pre-workout snacks. Complex carbs will slowly release energy during and after a workout. Foods with sugar will break down quickly, which can result in fatigue. Look for foods such as multigrain bread, beans, bananas, berries and sweet potatoes.
4

Stretching can benefit your mental health.

Explanation:
Stretching may help reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression. When you stretch, it releases powerful chemicals such as endorphins and serotonin, which improve mood and feelings of well-being. Stretching can lower cortisol (also called the “stress hormone”) levels.
5

Cutting out protein can be an effective weight loss tool.

Explanation:
If you're trying to lose weight, eating a recommended amount of protein is still essential. Protein supports overall health and helps preserve your muscle mass.
