People go to doctors most often for pain. Many times these pains become chronic and do not go away. Most people have used Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) like aspirin or ibuprofen (Advil), or pain meds like Tylenol.
NSAIDS may cause many different side effects. The most common side effects are ulcers and liver toxicity.
To avoid side effects many people search out for alternative answers. What you may not know is that your diet may be causing much of your inflammation. Many foods that you eat cause your body to produce inflammation.
So, before you take a drug or try alternative methods to reduce the pain and inflammation, you must alter your diets and cut down on the foods that increase your bodies production of these chemical.
Foods that cause increased inflammation in the body are: refined sugar (sweets), refined grains ( bread, pasta, bagels ect.)
An Anti-inflammatory diet includes vegetables, fruit, raw nuts, fish, chicken, omega 3, and eggs. The best oils are olive oil, coconut oil, butter, and fish oil.
Research has shown that ginger and white willow bark are natural alternatives for pain. White willow has been shown to be just as effective as celebrex when used for four weeks.
For acute sprain strains bromelain which is found in pineapples is a unique enzyme that helps break down certain proteins that are produced during trauma.
Change your diet and try some of these natural remedies during your next episode of pain and inflammation.
