Chronic Pain caused by inflamation

New reports DIET critical in reducing chronic pain caused by inflamation. (joints, muscles, etc.)

Foods that have been found to contribute to inflamation and subsequent pain include:
Refined sugar, refined grains/breads/flour, refined oils and fatty meats. Unfortunately these foods make up 30-40% of the typical American diet.

It is suggested to reduce your consumption of the above foods by at least 10% and preferably 20% and replace with vegetables, fruit, raw nuts(almonds especially), potatoes (regular and sweet), lean meat, skinless chicken, fish, eggs(1 yolk per 3 eggs). Olive and coconut oil, fish oil (omega 3) used in moderation is great. Spices such as ginger, turmeric, rosemary, oregano, garlic, corainder, and pepper have also been shown to have anti-inflamatory properties.

FUN FOODS that are good for you in moderation: chocolate, red wine, stout beer.

Also, instead of taking Advil or Tylenol which in some folks negatively affect the liver. Asprin, when consumed in high doses has been shown to contribute to the development of ulcers. WHITE WILLOW BARK, a natural anti-inflamatory, is recommended as a possible alternative. (check with your Doctor first)
