6 THINGS IN YOUR DIET THAT MAY BE CAUSING YOU PAIN
EATING THE RIGHT FOODS CAN IMPROVE YOUR LIFE The Mediterranean diet emphasizes fruits, vegetables, fish, whole grains, and healthy oils such as olive oil – all delicious choices with high nutritional value and low risk for inflammatory responses. Even your choice of spices can make a huge difference in how you’re feeling. Turmeric, for example, is a potent natural anti- inflammatory. Your physical therapist can point you toward the right nutritional changes to help you control your pain. HOW ARE DIET AND PAIN CONNECTED? Heavily processed foods that include lots of sugar and/or trans fats (including cookies, donuts, and margarine) Potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, and other members of the nightshade family Caffeinated foods and drinks White bread or other highly-processed carbs Alcohol Red meats such as steak, beef, or ham
CONDITIONS RELATED TO DIET AND NUTRITION Inflammation. American diets tend to have a lot of vegetable oils and other inflammatory foods in them. This can increase the pain from inflammation. Obesity. Being overweight causes undue stress and strain on a person’s joints and muscles. This causes pain, so they become more sedentary. Autoimmune disorders. The combined total of various autoimmune disorder patients (such as Crohn’s disease, multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis) now outnumber cancer patients in America by a wide margin. Diabetes. Diabetes and pre-diabetes pave the way for more serious conditions such as blindness, heart disease, and kidney disease. Osteoarthritis. Once a person has been diagnosed with osteoarthritis of the knee, managing their weight becomes the most important key to managing arthritis pain.
