Do you know that spinach salad contains nutrients that can console nerve pain and insomnia? That fast food can produce PMS? Diet has a huge effect on pain control. Good food choices can conquer pain and tone you resistance to it, and unhealthful eating can aggravate it.

                You don’t want to have a perfect diet to feel better. Simply cultivate an awareness about what you eat and your body’s response to tit and you’ll be stronger and more resistant to disease and stress - and feel less pain.


Top pain-fighting foods

1. Berries, red grapes, carrots, tomatoes and other deeply colored produce

Certain contents in high colored fruits and vegetables appear to stabilize the cell wall, building them less likely to produce pain promoting compounds. They also contain phytochemicals, plant substances that bolster the immune system, helping you resist cancer, heart disease and other illnesses. Fresh produce is best.

 2. Fresh spinach

Green leafy vegetables like spinach, broccoli and kale are high in vitamin B complex, a deficiency of which may lead to pain caused by damaged or misfiring nerves, Eat two servings ever day. For example, have a spinach salad at lunch and broccoli at dinner.

3.Whole grains

They’re a source of many nutrients, including B vitamins, which are important for a strong immune system and pain control. Whole-grain foods such as oatmeal, wheat bread and brown rice are also high in magnesium, which relieves cramped muscles, and fiber, which reduces constipation and cramping from irritable bowel syndrome or pain medications. Start incorporating them into your diet by eating oatmeal or whole-wheat toast for breakfast.

4.Deepwater fish

Mackerel, salmon and sardines are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which help reduce inflammation. Have one of these twice a week instead of red meat. If you choose salmon, try to eat the kind that’s caught in the wild, since farm-raised salmon does not feed on the plant substances that give the fish its high level of omega-3s. 

5.Walnuts

They’re also a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which may inhibit the product of neurotransmitters such as substance P and bradykinins, which increase pain and inflammation.
