Relaxing Baths – at home

Epson salts, Dead Sea salts, and other bath salts can be found in spas, health food stores and country markets. A deep bath soak for 30 minutes will relax your body and release toxins that have gathered on the skin and in surface muscles. After the soak, briskly dry off and if possible, get into bed for the night to relax.

Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids

The right types of fats in your diet will impact pain and inflammation in a positive way. Omega-3 essential fatty acids are very powerful anti-inflammatory agents. They are found in walnuts, pumpkin seeds, cold-water oily fish, flax seeds, and canola oil. Adding these omega-3 fatty acid supplements from flax oil or fish oil may also help reduce inflammation.

Olive Oil for Cooking

Olive oil is another type of oil that will reduce inflammation. In fact, olive oil has been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and help to reduce artery blockage. Other healthy oils include rice bran oil, grape seed oil, and walnut oil.

Anti-inflammatory Diet Tips

Choose fresh foods instead of heavily processed foods when you are choosing anti-inflammatory foods, to help reduce your inflammation and pain.
Follow these tips:
•Breakfast oatmeal can be served with fresh berries and walnuts, with a cup of milk.
•Snack on whole fruits, nuts, seeds, and fresh vegetables throughout the day instead of Sweets, like cookies, cake, and candies.
•Eat fish two or three times per week and eat less fatty red meat.
•Bake or stir fry your meals. Always add fresh vegetables and fruits.
•Choose green, orange, and yellow vegetables for your side dishes. Eat ½ cup plus.
•Drink plenty of water, herbal teas and green tea. Juice fruits and vegetables.

Use a nutrition and calorie guide for men and women to help determine how many calories you need each day. Maintaining a healthy weight is another way to live a healthier life and reduce pain from inflammation. All change comes slow and steady. Don’t give up!

Another hint is to chart your height and weight and compare it to the average for your range and see where you need to make changes, if any. I found a good site for this at: http://www.healthchecksystems.com/heightweightchart.htm

I hope these ideas have been helpful to you in staying healthy and reducing pain and inflammation. For a great massage call Allchristie Massage in Sandy, Utah. 1 801 565-8515
