Manage Pain Before There's Pain, Part 1
Manage Pain Before There's Pain, Part 1
This sounds so silly to say… how can you possibly manage pain before there’s pain?
Through Proactive Prevention you can actually make lifestyle choices to prevent inflammation and pain to begin with.
Proactive Prevention means…
-eliminating those things which weaken your body
-supplying your body with tools that strengthen your body’s defenses
Being proactive means making good choices for a more positive outcome... it's all about choices!
So when it comes to pain, we have to explore what is causing inflammation, getting to the root cause, then work to reverse the cause and create a different result… one that’s specifically regenerative.
What causes inflammation?
-injury
-unplanned stress
-unhealthy lifestyle choices
Since the first two are generally out of our control, let’s work with this last area… DIET!
Look at this list of high inflammatory foods & drinks…
sugar, refined carbs, trans fats & omega-6 oils, processed meats, fried foods, alcohol, and high-lectin foods: nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers), grains, beans
These are typical foods of today that create stagnation and inflammation in the gut.
Yet here are several inflammation fighting foods…
cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, kale) olives, olive oil, avocados, berries, garlic, onions, sweet potatoes, mushrooms, fatty fish (salmon, sardines, tuna) seaweed, raw nuts.
It’s actually not that difficult to exclude the inflammation causers and include inflammation fighters in your daily menus. and it can make a HUGE difference in the way you feel.
This is a first HUGE step and those who do this report…
-less pain, more energy, less stiffness, more flexibility, and even better digestion and better sleep.
There’s more that I will be sharing next week! However, take these tips and apply them this week and see if it doesn’t make a difference for you. You can manage the pain before there’s pain!
