Reduce Inflammation The Natural Way: "Deflaming" With Nutrition And Supplements

We’ve all heard the phrase, “you are what you eat.” Unfortunately, this statement is more accurate than most realize. The human body’s biochemicals are composed of the foods that we ingest. Subtle biochemical injuries (dietary trauma) occur throughout our body when we eat a diet that is deficient in fruits and vegetables, and contains the refined sugar and “vegetable” oils found in nearly all packaged and fast foods.

The inflammation associated with a poor nutrition may initially cause non-specific symptoms (malaise, fatigue, headache, aches and pains). Yet, over time, this diet-driven inflammation leads to the common, chronic diseases that plague our society.

Major Pro-Inflammatory Foods to Avoid:

All grains and grain products (bread, pasta, cereal, pretzels, packaged snacks)
Corn/safflower/sunflower/cottonseed/soybean oil found in dressings and packaged foods
Sugar, candies, and sweets
Soda, juices, and sugary coffee drinks

The good news is that we decrease inflammation and feel better by enjoying anti-inflammatory foods. Eating both vegetation and lean meats promotes an anti-inflammatory body state. The benefits include better mood, slower aging, better healing, and less pain.

Major Anti-Inflammatory Foods to Enjoy:

Any and all vegetation (vegetables and fruits.)
Fresh fish and eggs
Lean cuts of meat and chicken
Nuts: raw almonds, cashews, walnuts, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts
Spices like ginger, turmeric, garlic, dill, oregano, coriander, fennel, red chili pepper, basil, rosemary
Organic extra virgin olive oil and coconut oil
Water and/or organic green tea

Nutritional Supplements to Fight Inflammation:

Nutritional supplements cannot take the place of healthy eating. Nobody can “out supplement” the trauma of inflammatory foods. Yet, you can further improve your health and healing with key supplements. While precise supplements and exact amounts vary with individual need, here is a general approach for inflammation reduction. Certainly talk to your doctor of chiropractic to optimize the dose and formulation for your specific needs.

If you want to take:

1 supplement, it should be OmegaGenics® EPA-DHA 1000mg
2 supplements, add SPM Active ® One Daily
3 supplements, add Vitamin D3 10,000+K
4 supplements, add PhytoMulti® Multivitamin
5 supplements, add Magnesium Glycinate
6 supplements, add Bone Builder® Extra Strength

Quite simply, all you need to do is eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, and some fruit. Eat until you begin to feel full, and then stop. Take key supplements and exercise/play regularly. We are here to help. More resources at colepaintherapygroup.com/nutrition

Anti-inflammatory Options

Most types of pain result from inflammation. While you work to rehabilitate the underlying cause of the inflammation, you have options for pain relief with medication and nutrition. Over the counter medications quickly and temporarily block part of the inflammatory pathway. On the other hand natural options shift the inflammatory pathway for less swelling and better healing. Talk to your doctor about which would be best for your specific health situation.

Natural anti-inflammatory options to support improved immune response:

SPM Active® for Body and Joint Support – Specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) are molecules our bodies produce naturally in response to damaged tissue due to physical challenges and are a critical component of the body’s natural healing process. Unfortunately, the body may not produce enough SPMs on its own. Diet, lifestyle, excess body fat, and other health challenges can affect SPM production. That’s where our clinically studied SPM Active can help. Take as directed by your doctor of chiropractic.
Inflavonoid Intensive Care® features highly bioavailable CurQfen® (curcumin and fenugreek) and XNT ProMatrix® (xanthohumol), which may help support the body’s response to oxidative stress and other stressors. It also offers boswellia and ginger extracts, which may help support the body’s immune response. Take as directed by your doctor of chiropractic.
Rapid Relief for Body Soreness® is a naturally-derived, fast-acting mild pain reliever that lasts up to six hours. This drug-free formula features a blend of turmeric, boswellia and black sesame seed oil to soothe five types of soreness. Formulated with a patented technology to help deliver fast-acting relief. Take as directed by your doctor of chiropractic.
