Help for Aches and Pains

  • Yoga and slow stretching can help ease stiffness.
  • Foods high in saturated fat can trigger inflammation. Cut down on high-fat dairy products, meat and processed meat products.
  • Too much Omega-6 can cause inflammation. Cut down on foods prepared with corn or sunflower oil. Try flaxseed oil (high in Omega-3) for salads.
  • Ginger is an anti-inflammatory. Cook with ginger and try hot ginger tea.
  • Add turmeric (an anti-inflammatory) to your recipes.
