November 13, 2018

The S.A.D. is sad for many reasons. Inflammation. Obesity. Pain.

Ashburn and Herndon DIET AND INFLAMMATION

Diet may play a role in obesity and chronic pain, not just in weight-bearing joints but other parts of the body as well. Poor diet often adds to obesity, affects the immune system adversely, and lengthens recovery from inflammatory injury. A diet that is anti-inflammatory in nature rather than a pharmacological intervention after injury may well help with these issues when swapped for the Standard American Diet. (1) Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic patients with chronic pain frequently find some relief with healthier eating selections.

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY FOODS

A review of 172 studies proposes that effects of specific foods are akin to drug management therapy for chronic pain. Natural compounds like the phenolic compounds in extra virgin olive oil are examples. Carbohydrates with low glycemic indices consumed 3 times a day along with fruits and vegetables, yogurt, red wine are good on a daily basis. Fish and legumes, white meat, eggs and cheese and red meats can be interspersed weekly. It is not bad to have sweets on occasion! (2) Such a treat causes it to be simpler to manage a diet change! Eating like this helps manage inflammation/oxidative stress that results in pain relief.  

DIET CHANGE FOR NEUROLOGICAL REPAIR

A popular diet referred to as the ketogenic diet may be beneficial for decreasing inflammation and fostering neuroprotection, protection of the nerves and even neurological recovery of spinal cord injury if initiated early after the injury. (3) Protecting and regenerating damaged, inflamed nerves is important in the treatment of chronic pain and Ashburn and Herndon back pain at Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn.
