Diet And Inflammation
The foods we eat play an important role in how we feel. Loading up on junk foods and fast foods tend to make us feel worse due to the unhealthy fats that are used in the cooking processes. Excessive consumption of sugars and refined starchy carbohydrates like white flour can make inflammation worse. Switch your diet to whole fruits, vegetables, and lots of cold water oily fish.
Essential Fatty Acids
The right type of fats in our diets will impact pain and inflammation in a positive way. Omega-3 oils that are found in cold water oily fish, walnuts, flax and pumpkin seeds will reduce inflammation. It may be beneficial to supplement the omega 3 oils with flax oil or fish oil capsules. Add some vitamin E as well.
Water and Dehydration
One big factor in pain is dehydration. When we do not drink enough water, we hurt and inflammation feels worse. Make sure to drink plenty of water every day.
