When struggling with chronic pain, such as arthritis, it’s important to be mindful of your diet and how the foods you eat could be affecting your pain and inflammation.

The following 9 foods are known to increase the body’s inflammatory response:

Sugar
Saturated fats
Trans fats (processed foods)
Omega 6 fatty acids (such as corn and peanut oils)
Refined carbohydrates
MSG
Gluten
Aspartame (artificial sweetener)
Alcohol

If you’re suffering from chronic pain and inflammation, try reducing or cutting out these 9 foods from your diet, while increasing the amount of fresh fruits, vegetables, and omega-3s you’re consuming, and you may find some relief. A chiropractic adjustment may also be able to help with your pain. Give us a call to book an appointment.
