Healing Foods that Fight Pain
No discussion of pain relief is complete without addressing diet. In fact, food may be the most critical factor in controlling inflammation, reducing toxins, improving circulation, and alleviating pain.
Avoid pro-inflammatory foods such as refined sugar, grains, and dairy. Some of the worst culprits are gluten and trans fats in processed foods.
Many people report full recovery from chronic pain when eliminating these problem foods. Emphasize nutrient-dense whole foods instead. These include healthy fats and brightly-colored fruits and vegetables. They nourish the body, remove toxins, cool inflammation, support circulation, and increase flexibility.
A combination of healthy diet, exercise, supplements, manual therapies, and mind-body practices can work together synergistically to provide remarkable relief from pain and discomfort.
Best of all, these approaches deliver other important benefits for long-term wellness, taking your health and vitality to new heights.
