Treating Food as Medicine for Chronic Pain

 


Are you tired of living with chronic pain? I know I was! I felt like no doctor was listening to my concerns and with the new opioid restrictions, the thought of relief was just a dream. Chronic pain can be debilitating and affect every aspect of your life. 

Imagine being able to do the things you love without constant discomfort. Picture a life where you can focus on the things that matter the most to you. With the right approach and guidance, it's possible to reduce the impact of chronic pain on your daily life. 

I have mentioned in my other posts, my doctors wanted me to take an insane amount of ibuprofen and acetaminophen on a daily basis. My main concern was that my liver and kidneys would be damaged and guess what? I would be in even more pain because lets get real, ibuprofen and acetaminophen do not take away chronic pain. I was also given gabapentin, which is a prescription drug used as an anticonvulsant. However, they are distributing this drug like tic-tacs for pain. For me, this did nothing for my pain and the side effects of this medication are quite alarming. More on this at a later time. 

It's no secret that chronic pain can be debilitating, impacting every aspect of your life.. However, many people do not realize that the food they eat can have a significant impact on their pain levels. When I discovered this fact ( no thanks to my doctors ), it was a real game-changer for me and my own struggle with chronic pain. 

I learned treating food as medicine could make all the difference in the world. By making simple changes to my diet, such as incorporating more anti-inflammatory foods, healthy fats, and nutrient-rich fruits and vegetables, I was able to reduce inflammation, improve gut health, and alleviate pain naturally. But one of the biggest challenges when trying to change your eating habits is often fear of missing out on tasty meals. The good news is, there are ways to change your way of eating without sacrificing flavor and quality! And now, not only am I experiencing less pain but also enjoying my meals even more. 

So why wait? Let's start this journey towards a healthier life together and take control of our pain by making better choices in what we eat. We owe it to ourselves to try everything we can to live our lives to the fullest!
