7 Super Foods That Silence Pain

There’s a whole bunch of foods that keep you stuck in pain. Eat them and you’re practically asking for trouble.

Enjoy great foods… and get out of pain at the same time

But life isn’t all about what you can’t do. That’s probably why so many people fail to stick to diets… even when we know it’s for our own good. We just don’t like feeling like we’re missing out on something by following some big list of “don’ts.”

So how about we turn the tables on that and take a look at foods that aren’t only tasty, but can actually help end a lot of our pain. That’s right. Eat any of these super foods and you’re not only enjoying your meal or snack, you’re actually fighting the inflammation that’s keeping you in pain.

Here are my seven favorite super foods that fight inflammation:

• Jalapeno peppers – chop these up raw into your salsa for a great kick and pain relieving power
• Dry roasted almonds – grab a handful of these tasty pain fighters for a snack
• Carrots – they aren’t just for Bugs Bunny… enjoy them raw as a snack or on your salad
• Broccoli – cooked or raw, broccoli quickly goes to work on inflammation too
• Olive oil – just a single tablespoon drizzled on your salad has as much pain fighting power as an entire half cup of broccoli
• Raw spinach – hope you love salads because adding some raw spinach to it will pump up your body’s ability to fight off systemic inflammation
• Wild Alaskan salmon – my all-time favorite inflammation fighting food… wild Alaskan salmon is a heavyweight champion in a small package – a 3oz portion can fight inflammation as well as 6 cups of raw spinach!

Now those just happen to be some of my favorites. But there’s a lot more foods that can help you end the pain caused by systemic inflammation. And, you probably already guessed, plenty of foods that will keep you in pain. For more information, check out our next great article on how to create your own anti-inflammatory diet.
