How an Anti Inflammatory Diet Can Reduce Pain

How an Anti Inflammatory Diet Can Reduce Pain

July 16, 2019

The pain in your back, knees, ankles, and so forth, is your body telling you that something is very wrong with your routine. It’s time to listen. And, believe it or not, pain is not the only symptom of chronic stress: your appetite suffers too. Which brings us to diet and how it relates to pain.

So few people ever turn to how they fuel their body for answers relating to their chronic pain. And yet, there might be a direct link between the nutritional content of your food and the pain you’re going through.

Sugar, fat, and salt all contribute to the accumulation of a poor metabolism, fat storage in the body, poor blood pressure, and decreased circulation. The result? Pain. And sadly, as many people know, pain is really only the start. Cancer, diabetes, and a myriad of other diseases may well follow suit.

If you’re not sleeping, you’re experiencing chest pains, you’re suffering from panic attacks and headaches, and you’re feeling a general fatigue accompanying your pain, please take a look at what you’re ingesting. It’s absolutely vital to check-up on your diet.

A diet full of Antioxidants protects our cells from disease-causing damage and reduces inflammation in your body. Start including more vegetables and antioxidants into your diet. Include foods that are nutrient dense and well balanced. If you are struggling with joint and muscle pain, here are a few examples of foods that help reduce pain and inflammation.

Pumpkin Seeds

Papitas, the shelled version of pumpkin seeds, which are often roasted to improve your body’s ability to absorb nutrients, are tasty and full of antioxidants, manganese and magnesium. They are also beneficial for male health by improving sperm quality and reducing the risk of cancers, especially prostate cancer.

Peaches

Peaches are full of antioxidants. They have a lot of fiber and aid in digestion and reduce inflammation while improving your immune system. They pack a lot of vitamin C and are quite tasty in the summer.

Almonds

Almonds are loaded with nutrients. They have 6 grams of protein per 1oz serving. One serving has over thirty percent of the DV of Vitamin E & Manganese. They are excellent antioxidants that reduce oxidative stress from the body naturally.

Kiwi

Kiwi fruit is a superfood that naturally stimulates collagen production in your body. It aids in digestion, prevents blood clotting and promotes healthy skin, hair and nails. Just one serving (2 kiwis) provides %290 DV of Vitamin C.

Bananas

Though they are high in sugar, bananas have health benefits that can help you manage weight and maintain healthy digestion. They help maintain healthy levels of blood sugar and are a filling source of energy. Bananas act as a prebiotic you may need if you are using Probiotics to improve gut health. One banana can keep you fueled through a half hour workout session.

Drink Water

Daily water consumption helps the body reduce pain by increasing blood volume and circulation which helps tissues recover more efficiently. Our bodies are made of about 60 – 70% water which we use for all bodily functions including flushing toxins, digesting food and cushioning our joints. Drinking adequate amounts of water reduces inflammation in the body and gives your immune system an edge on fighting against disease and chronic health conditions.

Regular water consumption is necessary for ongoing pain reduction. This habit can boost your immune system and improve your mood as well as cushion your joints to reduce pressure from walking and standing when incorporated into your daily routine.
