Pain and inflammation are one and the same. Inflammation is part of chronic aches, pains, allergies, and auto-immune disease. If you have a growing list of concerns, then this is a sign of inflammation.
Tips to reduce inflammation
- Good quality sleep to regenerate your body
- Regular exercise even if it’s walking 30 minutes a day
- Stress management
- Anti-inflammatory diet: Focus on a diet rich in vegetables, fruit, nuts, wild fish, and some free-range animal products.
- Foods to avoid are: Processed fried foods, trans fats, sugars, allergens/intolerances (you may need tests or an exclusion diet to verify possible allergens or intolerances). Gluten or wheat causes inflammation, as does dairy.
-
Herbal Medicines: Glycyrrhiza glabra, Boswellia serrata, and Curcuma longa are strong anti-inflammatories.
Also, an individualised program of nutritional supplements and herbal medicine lessens the inflammation.
