🐟 Recovery Foods: What to Eat So Your Body Rebuilds While You Sleep

LIP #262
Dec 04, 2025

While you sleep, your body goes into full repair mode. It needs the right building materials to do this well.

Top Recovery Foods:

  • Eggs - protein, good fats, tryptophan for serotonin
  • Blue fish (salmon, tuna, mackerel, sardines) - best protein, rich in omegas
  • Bone broth - digests in 25 minutes, as much protein as a chicken breast
  • Miso - protein and good bacteria
  • Beans - great plant-based protein

Digestion times to know:

  • Fish: 1.5 to 2 hours
  • Chicken: 5 hours
  • Beef: 8 hours

Pro tip: Add white miso to bone broth for a quick, powerful recovery soup. Eating the right foods at night means you wake up feeling truly restored.
