9 Analgesic (Pain reducing foods)

Hi all, thought I would put together this very quick and concise list of foods for all you pain sufferers out there. Keep in mind this isn't an instant fix, and will depend on the degree of pain and how long you have had it. But like everything, daily incorporation of these foods will build up over time and allow you to eliminate those terrible pain killers.

Also, they aren't just good for pain but for your overall health, which will be a major factor in reducing pain. Remember, pain is just your body telling you something is wrong somewhere - we don't have to live with it and there is definitely something we can do about it.

• Cherries
• Garlic
• Health Fats ( olive oil, omega 3 fatty acids found in salmon for example, avocado, nuts)
• Leafy Greens
• Turmeric
• Ginger
• Cinnamon (Ceylon not cassia)
• Bone Broth
• Cruciferous Vegetables (broccoli, Brussel sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage)

Notice all the foods mentioned above are healthy and contribute to overall health. There is not mention of McDonalds or processed foods, sodas, pizzas etc...

Here are 3 lifestyle changes you can make as well for reduced pain.

• Yoga
• Acupuncture (I can definitely attest to this one. Takes longer but works)
• Massage (DEFINITELY!!!!!!!)

Hope this helps. No need to feel overwhelmed. This does not have to happen all in one day. It is important to start slow however and stick with it. Either way you are fighting pain everyday, might as well increase the chances in your favour. Slowly you will wean off your pain killers without even noticing. The point is to start and try.

Cheers.
