When you are living with chronic pain, you miss out on so much of life! Whether you have joint pain that keeps you from playing with your kids or grandkids, headaches that leave you out of commission for the day, or muscle pain that leaves you unable to work out or glued to the couch, you are missing out. Pain medications, whether over the counter or prescription, come with some hefty side effects. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories can do serious damage to your stomach lining. Prescription pain pills come with the risk of addiction as well as side effects like constipation, depression, weight gain, and low libido. What many people don’t know is that nutrient deficiencies can contribute to or even cause more pain. Food is medicine, and many nutrients found in foods and herbs can quench inflammation which can help provide natural pain relief.
Nutrevo Body identified over 30+ vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, herbs, and spice extracts which have extensive clinical research on reducing inflammation and pain. A few of the nutrients which have been clinically shown to help naturally reduce inflammation and pain include:
Getting adequate nutrients to keep inflammation at bay is crucial to natural pain management. Tabulating your nutrient needs and then planning your meals to try to incorporate the proper nutrients is a monumental task. The Nutrevo Body pain relief nutrient-based eating plan focuses on 4 areas of natural pain relief:
From daily headaches to migraines, living with constant headaches can greatly impact your quality of life. Clinical studies have demonstrated nutrients which are commonly found in whole food sources can have a positive impact in decreasing headache frequency, duration, and severity. Magnesium, CoQ10, omega 3, and vitamin B12 are just some of the nutrients which can provide natural headache support.
Excitatory neurotransmitters and nutrient deficiencies are often associated with nerve pain issues. Tingling in the hands, feet, and body are common symptoms of nerve pain disorders. Acetyl L-Carnitine, alpha lipoic acid, and vitamin B1 are a few nutrients, which when taken frequently and at therapeutic dosages can support nerve pain relief.
Poor diet, lifestyle, aging, and nutrient deficiencies can all contribute to the wear and tear of joints. Natural remedies to decrease inflammation and joint pain can include curcumin found in turmeric, omega 3 fatty acids found in salmon, and probiotics found in sauerkraut. By reducing inflammation and controlling pain cell signaling, you can support joint mobility and movement.
Getting out of bed in the morning or going through the day with muscle pain can be aggravating. OTC medicines can help for a short time but eventually wear off and can at times cause gastrointestinal bleeding. Natural food and nutrient sources for pain relief can include CoQ10, magnesium, curcumin, and omega 3 fatty acids among many other nutrients.
