Why is food so important in recovery?

How much protein can the body absorb?

How important is the food side of the recovery when they are trying to rehab from an injury or they are just trying to perform at their best?

What is the Keto diet? Is there a place for it in recovery?

What role can protein play in helping with muscle soreness? 

How should we be recovering after big workouts or long runs? 

The protein window? Do we need to adhere to it?

Do we need protein powders, and if people want to take them, what sort of protein powders should they be looking for?
