Foods That Help Fibromyalgia
Did you know that raw plant-based foods contain all the vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients that your body needs in order to heal itself from just about any disease? You may or may not be surprised to discover that this includes fibromyalgia.
You may have been told that it is incurable, and that you are going to be stuck with it for the rest of your life. But you should know that there is hope. Medical studies reveal that the cause of fibromyalgia is likely due to toxins and lack of nutrients. Thus it is logical that if you reverse these two things you can also reverse the symptoms of fibromyalgia, as your body is created to heal itself when given the proper care.
Foods High in Antioxidants
Antioxidants help your body to neutralize toxins in your body so that they can be eliminated. Thus it is very important that you add as many of these foods into your diet as you can.
Some of the best antioxidant fruits to consume are acai berries, blueberries, strawberries, plums, kiwi, grapes, bananas, tomatoes and apples. Vegetables to add in are garlic, onion, brussels sprouts, alfalfa sprouts, broccoli, kale, spinach and beets. Nuts are also excellent foods to help your body to eliminate toxins.
Muscle Relaxers
Fibromyalgia is a muscle disorder which causes muscle cramping, spasms and burning or tingling sensations. Therefore you should incorporate lots of foods that will help to relax and regulate your muscles. These should be foods that are high in potassium, magnesium and calcium.
The best source of potassium is the avocado, which also contains magnesium and calcium. Other foods that help to regulate muscles are bananas, spinach, swiss chard, dandelion, collards, kale, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, almonds, Brazil nuts, hazelnuts, pecans and peanuts.
Serotonin Creators
If you are suffering from fibromyalgia then you may often find yourself in a state of confusion where you cannot think clear due to the fibro fog. You may also find yourself depressed or anxious to the point where you cannot sleep at night, as this is quite normal for those who suffer from fibromyalgia.
All those symptoms can be helped by a hormone known as serotonin. Your body is able to create its own from certain kinds of foods. The best foods to help you create this are raw cacao, bananas, avocados, pineapples, kiwi, tomatoes, melons, grapefruit, spinach and mushrooms.
However, in order for these foods to properly work in your body, you need to eliminate toxic foods such as processed foods, fast foods, animal proteins and most cooked foods. You do not have to make the change overnight, but gradually start adding in the good foods simultaneously as you eliminate the bad. It will take a while, but you can take control of your life again.
