10 Foods That Reduce Inflammation and Pain Naturally

This post is going to be short because my wife is in labor and about to give birth to baby number 8. Once the baby has arrived I'll try to send out some pictures.

So here's a great article about foods that reduce pain and promote healing.

Enjoy...

      10 Foods That Reduce Inflammation and Pain Naturally

Far too many people live with chronic pain.  Whether western medicine has let them down or they're just tired of having to take over the counter pain medication, a lasting and natural solution may be sitting on the dinner table right now.

Let's take a look inside Mother Nature's medicine cabinet...

1. Alfalfa.  The leaves of the alfalfa plant are rich in vitamins, protein and minerals however beyond the high levels of basic nutrients it is also a natural anti-arthritic due to its high Chlorophyll content.  

Alfalfa can be found at your local market or in your health food store.  It is most often found in the form of sprouts, however juice and supplement capsules are also beneficial.

2. Chamomile.  Chamomile is widely known as a natural relaxant and is most commonly found in tea however it is also an anti spasmodic and an anti inflammatory.  The easiest and tastiest way to consume this flower is with a regular cup of tea.

3. Fenugreek.  Fenugreek is an herb most commonly used to season curry.  You can eat the plant's leaves, seeds, and sprouts.  Look for it in your local ethnic or Indian market.  The greens and sprouts are a tasty addition to a salad and the seeds provide excellent seasoning to a variety of meats, stews, and sauces. 

Fenugreek is an anti-inflammatory and has phyto steroid properties to help rebuild tissues.  Recently it has been tested for it's affects on cancer.

4. Flax.  Omega 3 fatty acids have been studied in depth for their anti inflammatory properties as well as their ability to help the body heal and regenerate.  It has also been linked to fighting cancer and reversing diabetes. 

Flax seed can be added to just about any meal and flax seed oil can be used to cook with or make dressings and sauces.  It can also be consumed as a tea.
 
5. Ginger is a delicious seasoning for a variety of foods.  From tea to ice cream Ginger is easy to consume and provided tremendous health benefits.  It helps to stimulate blood flow for improved circulation and it is an anti inflammatory.  Less inflammation means less pain.LW HealnSoothe 3.jpg

Ginger is just one of the 11 powerful pain fighting ingredients in "Heal-n-Soothe".

Thousands of people are reporting great results - many have even been able to dump their existing medications for this all-natural alternative.

6. Licorice.  No, not those black candy whips you find at the grocery!  Licorice is a root.  In Italy it isn't uncommon to see people chewing on the root as a snack or breath freshener. 

Take care though, too much pure licorice can be dangerous.  It is an anti-inflammatory and is rich in phytosteroids.

7. Salmon.  Salmon is a food source rich in omega three fatty acids which have been proven to provide a variety of health benefits the least of which is as an anti-inflammatory to treat arthritis.

8. Rosemary. Rosemary is an excellent food to treat pain because it naturally eases nerve and muscle tension and pain.  It's even good for chronic headaches.  It contains salicin which is a natural form glycoside - which aspirin is made from. 

Rosemary can be found anywhere and is an excellent herb for flavoring meats, salad dressings, stews, soups, sauces and even tea.

9. Sage.  Sage isn't just for Thanksgiving Day dressing.  Sage helps improve achy muscles and inflammation and is great to keep your mind clear.  Sage is actually in the mint family and is exceptional for flavoring food. 

White sage is a strong anti inflammatory and is most often consumed as tea while common sage can be consumed as tea or used to season food.

10. Shitake mushroom.  Shitake has most recently been used to treat immune deficiency resulting from chemotherapy, hepatitis, aids and other chronic infections.  It is a strong cancer fighter and anti viral.  It is an excellent treatment to arthritis and chronic joint pain. 

Shitake mushrooms can be enjoyed raw, saut?ed, baked, added to just about any meal and they're easy to find in your local supermarket.

This is by no means an exhaustive list... there are tons of other "super foods" and the more whole foods you can eat the better.

Chronic pain doesn't
have to rule your life.  Nature has provided us with a wealth of healthy solutions and treatments for what ails us.  Take a look in your refrigerator and see what remedies are right in front of you.

Are Your Shoes Contributing To Your Back Pain?

I am always amazed when I see women wearing high heels...

How could you possibly put those things on, feel uncomfortable yet still walk around in them all day!

Well, the dangers of wearing "bad" shoes or shoes that just don't fit your foot well is real. And guys, before you say this doesn't apply to me, it does...

High heels aren't the only types of shoes I'd classify as "bad"... many mens dress shoes are almost as horrible when it comes to what they do to feet.

As humans we tend to take our feet for granted and seriously neglect them. Your feet are critical to good biomechanics and overall health and fitness.

Think about it... your feet serve as the foundation for your body and even the slightest problem in the foot can throw your entire body out of whack.

We received many emails and letters from customers who have followed our advice and ditched the heels and dress shoes and that alone resulted in huge reductions in pain.

So whether you are a woman who feels pressured to wear high heels or a man who has to wear "dress" shoes, I urge you to think about how you are treating and caring for your feet... and find a better pair of shoes.

First off, they have to support and fit your foot well... they shouldn't force your foot to fit the shoes, it's got to be the other way around!

Second, they need to feel comfortable. If your feet feel tired after wearing them for just a few minutes, they are probably not a great choice.

And last, forget "fashion"! Who cares what the thing looks like if it's not comfortable or worse, it's ruining your feet. And whoever said high heels looked good any way - I think they look stupid!

But worse is what they do to the feet of women who wear them... take a look at these pictures:


high-heels2.jpg

high-heels.jpg

So does that make you want to wear some high heels? I hope not!

By the way, incase you missed it, last week I sent out an email about a new video we just added to the website. It's about trigger points and if you haven't already watched it, you can find it here:

An Aspirin a Day Keeps the... Doctor Here to Stay




We received so much feedback in response to the email I sent recently about the passing of Tim Russert and heart disease that I thought you might find this article about asprin very informative.

I hope you enjoy the article...

An Aspirin a Day Keeps the... Doctor Here to Stay

5-aspirin.jpgHeart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States.

Each year, one million people suffer from a heart attack; and half of them die.

At least 600,000 Americans have a stroke, which is the third leading cause of death.

Aggressive attempts have been made throughout the years to prevent and treat cardiovascular disease, including the daily use of aspirin.

Aspirin therapy helps prevent blood platelets from sticking together and forming clots.

This, in turn, keeps blood thin and flowing more smoothly, thus lowering the risk of heart attacks and strokes. (Both are usually the result of a clot lodging in a narrowed artery and choking off the tissue's blood supply.)

But there is a gray cloud inside this silver lining. Although aspirin appears as a simple over-the-counter treatment, it is in fact a drug that produces side effects-many of which can be severe.

Long-term aspirin use has been linked to cataracts, macular degeneration, kidney damage and peptic ulcers. Aspirin irritates and erodes the stomach lining and often leads to gastrointestinal bleeding. The chance of bleeding is even higher when aspirin is used in combination with other anti-inflammatory drugs.

In addition, aspirin therapy can cause bleeding in the brain, especially in elderly folks. Healthy people taking aspirin as a preventative measure to ward off stokes can also develop bleeding. Supposedly the occurrence is rare; nonetheless, the risk is still there.

As if that isn't bad enough, research is now showing that many people are resistant to aspirin. That is, aspirin does nothing to protect them from heart attacks and strokes.

In fact, taking aspirin makes them more susceptible to both conditions. Apparently, the clotting ability of their blood is strong enough to prevent aspirin from doing its job. This action makes their situation worse and increases the likelihood of having a heart attack or stroke.   

Some researchers suggest that any where from 20 to 49 percent of the population is aspirin-resistant. A recent analysis of 2,367 people found that 26 percent were resistant to the effects of aspirin.

Of these individuals, 33 percent suffered a heart attack, stroke or other health problem. Although it is not completely understood, resistance may be higher in men, diabetics, smokers, and those who have high blood pressure.

Unfortunately, many doctors continue to prescribe aspirin on a routine basis to their patients. As is often the case in our society, medication is thought to be the solution for all of our ills. Because every drug has side effects, they should be used very cautiously.

Also, one of the most effective blood thinners are proteolytic enzymes. Not only do they thin the blood naturally, but they also cleanse the blood of toxins, kill viruses and bacteria, eat away at excess fibrin (scar tissue) and reduce inflammation and pain.

You can learn more about proteolytic enzymes here.

Often times, there are other, safer ways of preventing disease or getting one's health back. For example, exercising, eating right, and controlling stress greatly reduce the risk of heart disease.

Several studies have found that garlic as well as fish oil lowers cholesterol and thins the blood, protecting against clots. Antioxidants found naturally in fruits and vegetables help prevent everything from cancer to heart attacks.

Bromelain, a natural enzyme in pineapple, acts as an anti-inflammatory and also keeps plaques from developing in artery walls. Bromelain is just one of the 11 proven pain relievers that are found in "Heal-n-Soothe". You can learn more about this all-natural anti-inflammatory here.

Eating small amounts of chocolate has even been associated with reducing heart disease risk. Research shows that cocoa beans contain natural plant chemicals that are good for blood flow.

However, milk chocolate contains considerably fewer of these chemicals, compared to dark chocolate. It contains a lot of added sugar as well. So look for bars with a minimum of 60 percent cocoa and not too much added sugar. Chocolate, of course, is high in calories, so go easy on your consumption.

Rub on Relief

While taking aspirin regularly may be beneficial for some people, it is not without risk. And in many cases, aspirin may do more harm than good.

All drugs have side effects, including over-the-counter medications, so their use should be carefully considered.

Healthy lifestyle habits and other natural remedies need be taken into account as alternatives to drugs whenever possible. 

So, dump the aspirin and use the safer and proven alternatives.

Talk to you again soon...

Foods That Cause Pain and How to Maximize Your Metabolism

I’ve got two great articles for you today.

One about how certain types of foods can actually create inflammation in your body and make it almost impossible to get rid of pain or heal.

And another article about how you can speed up your metabolism with simple little changes and tricks - and without exercise.

I hope you find them helpful and if you haven’t already, please be sure to let us know what topics you’d like us to cover in future articles.

Is What You’re Eating Keeping You In Pain?

When I say the word “inflammation,” it’s likely to evoke thoughts of painful joints and muscles, swelling, and a loss of mobility.

But did you know that recent research shows that chronic inflammation in your body can lead to serious diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, some cancers, and Alzheimer’s disease, to name just a few?

The amount of inflammation in your body varies and is dependent on a number of factors - including your activity level, the amount of sleep you get, the degree of stress in your life, and even the foods you eat.

What you have to realize is that these factors are cumulative - meaning they build up over time. And the more that any or all of these factors get out of whack, the risk for disease increases.

How to Maximize Fat Loss With Little or NO Exercise

Weight loss is a billion-dollar industry because everyone is looking for the quick fix when it comes to losing weight. Everyone wants to burn body fat yet few people understand how the human body uses fat for fuel!

Free BookStored body fat is the last thing your body will use as fuel. The whole reason we store extra calories (that can come from anything) is to have a back up or reserve.

The only way body fat can be effectively used as fuel Is If blood sugar is stable, and the body is using more fuel than is being supplied! This is what keeps most people from burning fat.

8 Drugs Even Your Doctor Won't Take

I just read a good article in Men's Health magazine, which I typically don't read but I had some time while waiting for a haircut. Anyway, the article was titled "8 Drugs Even Your Doctor Won't Take".

I've been urging people to avoid taking prescription or over the counter drugs at all costs because the risks are so high... and there are so many safer alternatives, many of which have proven to be just as effective (even more effective in some cases).

To save you the time and effort, here's their list of drugs to avoid:

1. Advair (asthma)
2. Avandia (diabetes)
3. Celebrex (anti-inflammatory)
4. Ketek (anti-biotic)
5. Prilosec / Nexium (heartburn)
6. Visine (eye drops)
7. Pseudoephedrine (decongestant)

It seems the people over at Men's Health can't count because the list only has 7 - not 8

Anyway, the reason I wanted to talk about this is because so many people we talk to are still taking Celebrex... even though the FDA has warned about how dangerous it can be. And if the FDA says it's dangerous, you know it has got to be really bad because it takes a lot of deaths before they'll cut into the drug companies profits.

So what can you do to safely deal with the pain? Here are 8 (yes actually 8) things that you should consider:

1. Topical pain relief cream

A great way to get fast, almost instant relief from the symptom (pain) but you still have to deal with the underlying issues.
- Hide quoted text -

We make a great product called Rub on Relief that has been clinically proven in 4 different studies to not only be effective, but over 80% of the people in the study said it delivered better pain relief than many brand name prescription and over the counter medicines.

You can learn more about it and why it works so well here.


2. Proteolytic enzymes

A very powerful anit-inflammatory yet very few people are aware of it here in the US. It's been used for about 50 years now in Europe and Asia to treat everything from asthma, arthritis, allergies, cancer, herpes/shingles, hepatitis, muscle soreness, multiple sclerosis and many others.

Extensive research has been done proving their effectiveness and you learn more about proteolytic enzymes here.


3. Acupuncture

This ancient treatment can work wonders and while it may not work for everyone, one thing we have discovered is the application of the treatments can vary widely from physician to physician... and some people report no benefit when receiving treatment from one doctor but then report great results when receiving treatment from another.

You can find an acupuncturist in your area here.


4. Trigger point therapy

We've all got em and they can cause serious muscle spasms, chronic pain and stiffness and exacerbate muscle imbalances.

The good news is you can identify and treat most, if not all of them on your own at home (or at work).... and with just a few minutes you can see dramatic improvement. If you haven't already started using trigger point therapy you definitely need to give a try and you can learn more about it here.


5. Muscle balance therapy

Probably the most important because when you identify and address your imbalances you eliminate much, if not all of the underlying cause of the pain.

And while it does take some time to improve your imbalances, many people do find that just one or two corrective exercises or stretches gives them instant relief - but the key here is knowing which exact ones you need to do.

If you were to do only one thing on this list, this is the one it should be. Be sure to read our article on muscle balance therapy here.


6. Mind body therapies

There are many "mind-body" therapies available and they all seem to work for some people so if there's any that you haven't tried, you should definitely look into them. You can find a basic overview of mind body therapies here.

And you can find the one mind-body / hypnosis program we recommend here.


7.  Energy healing

This is something I've been studying a lot as of late and am very excited about. It falls into the above "mind-body" category but is something I wanted to write briefly about today.

Since I wouldn't be able to give you a good explanation in such a short space here I encourage you to get and read the book "The Touch of Healing" by Mary Burmeister. You can find it on Amazon or Here..

And you can also find a qualified practitioner in your area here.

I'll be writing more about my experience with energy healing very soon.


8. Far Infrared heat

Used for over 3000 years now, Far Infrared heat has been used to treat all sorts of health conditions and has proven very effective at treating muscle and joint related conditions.

More and more research is being done on it right now and specifically in the treatment of various types of back pain. You can learn more about far infrared heat therapy here.

And these are just some of the MANY things you can do instead of risk your health on dangerous drugs.

Remember, the more things you try the sooner you'll find the combination that works best for you... and the sooner you try them the sooner you get your life back.

So get started now and please share your experience with us and others by posting on our discussion forum.

That's all for today. Hope you are doing well and talk to you again soon...

2 articles I think you'll find helpful on Back Pain

I've got 2 great articles for you today that I'm sure you are going to find very
interesting and hopefully also very helpful.

First, did you know that chronic pain shrinks the brain?

Yep, it's true and that's what the first article is about. And I don't know about
you, but I can't afford any loss of brain

And the second article talks about how you can use nutrition to help eliminate
your pain - or keep it, depending upon the choices you make.

But before we jump into these articles I wanted let you know that we just released
a brand new product called "The Fibromyalgia Fix" and you can check it out here:
http://www.losethebackpain.com/fibromyalgiafix.html

And right now you can grab a free copy of the book "Why We Hurt" by Dr. Greg Fors
when you purchase "The Fibromyalgia Fix" so if you or anyone you know sufferers
from fibromyalgia you (or they) have got to get your hands on this new program.

Ok, so now let's dig into the articles I was telling you about...

———————————————

Chronic Back Pain Limits Brain Power
——————————————————————————

You don't need to be a scientist to know that chronic back pain can have a negative
impact on your life, often bringing with it anxiety and depression. It can affect your
ability to work, sleep, and perform other daily activities.

Until recently, it has been assumed that whatever changes occurred in the brain as
a result of chronic back pain were only temporary and that the brain would revert to
a normal state once the pain stopped.

Recent findings by researchers from Northwestern University have turned this
assumption on its head. What they found was that chronic back pain - defined as
pain lasting six months or longer - can cause significant and long-lasting damage
to the brain, aging it up to 20 times faster than normal.

In fact, chronic back pain actually shrinks the gray matter of the brain - the part
responsible for memory and information processing - by as much as 11 percent each
year. In contrast, normal aging of the brain results in just a 0.5 percent loss of gray
matter a year.

————————————————————————————————————————————
Can Proper Nutrition and Supplementation Eliminate Your Pain?
————————————————————————————————————————————

Anyone looking to achieve optimal health has to consider nutrition as the single most
important ingredient for success. In a perfect world, all of our nutrition should come
from the food we eat. Supplementation should not even be an issue.

In the real world, however, most of the foods we eat are riddled with fertilizers,
herbicides, pesticides, and hormones - not to mention that they are often hydrated
with polluted water. In addition, an ever-growing percentage of our food comes from
other countries, which don't always have the best inspection track record.

And if all that weren't bad enough, the natural nutrient value of the soil that produces
these foods has also been diminishing over the years, a trend that will only continue.
This is why it's necessary for us to take a hard look at our diets and make a decision
about whether we may need supplements.

As you can see, proper nutrition nowadays is not that easy; it does take some time to
educate yourself. By proper nutrition, I mean eating clean and safe foods that have
the nutrients your body requires to get and stay healthy.
Recipe for relief

Your two main purposes for eating a healthy diet and taking supplements are to give
your body what it needs to heal itself and to minimize the level of inflammation that is
in your body. The inflammation is what is causing your pain.

Drugs that fight pain do little, if anything, to help the body heal itself. In fact, some of
these drugs can have severe negative side effects, so please consider eating right as
an alternative.

If you are suffering from any type of back, neck or sciatic pain, I have a recipe for relief.

Read the rest of this article here:
http://www.losethebackpain.com/treatments/nutritionandsupplements.html


By the way, keep your eyes peeled for a bunch of new articles, audios and videos
from the crew here at the Healthy Back Institute.

Have a great weekend!

Free Book: How To Win The War Agaisnt Fibromyalgia and Chronic Pain

The book is 400 pages and it covers every thing relating to chronic pain... It is indeed the complete physical and Spiritual guide to healing your chronic pain...

The Audio is 100 minutes long, its 2 CDs, I did the interview with Dr Fors, he blow me way with what he has discovered and his approach starts at the cellular level it does not get any more Root Cause that that...

www.losethebackpain.com/fibromyalgiafix.html


_______________________________________
Here is a quote from Dr Fors

"I was once so severely disabled with chronic low-back pain that I had to leave clinical practice for a time. Even though I had access to some of the best resources in natural and conventional medicine, I spent much of my time in agony, flat on my back. I eventually realized that it was up to me to discover the underlying cause of my own chronic pain.

"This became even more evident and poignant when my daughter was overcome with the pain and fatigue of fibromyalgia. At one point, the pain in her legs and back became so severe that she had to crawl up the stairs to her bedroom. Watching her suffer drove me back into academia to begin a three-year program to become a board-certified neurologist.

"Building upon my years of clinical experience, this process of intense study revealed to me the underlying cause of chronic pain and its effective treatment. And I witnessed the courage of a true warrior when I saw my own daughter apply what I’d discovered to fight and conquer her fibromyalgia.

"Through all of this I was able to effect dramatic changes in my own experience with chronic pain. Additionally my daughter was able to heal her fibromyalgia and she is now a vibrant, active young woman, working and going to college.

"Through this very personal journey with chronic pain disorders, I have come to a deep appreciation of the suffering it causes and the importance of effective natural treatment to properly address its various causes."
