Preventing Inflammation Naturally Many people are faced with
inflammatory conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid
arthritis, spinal degeneration and disc herniations. Research
has recently shown that NSAIDs (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory
drug) such as Advil, ibuprofen and other cox inhibitors actually
delay the healing process. To conquer inflammation naturally,
follow these easy tips: - Do light aerobic activity for
approximately 30 minutes a day. - Eat berries which have high
anti-oxidants in them (like blueberries!) - Eat salmon and
rainbow trout a few times per week as fish oil is a natural
anti-inflammatory - Drink at least 2 litres of fluids per day to
promote excretion of by-products from inflammation and to help
lubricate your joints. - Stretch and do mobility exercises –
motion is lotion! - Sleep 7-8 hours a day and incorporate a
power nap if you can. Sleep is what allows our bodies to heal
and recover. - Use Arnica or Traumeel creams which are plant
based natural anti-inflammatory products.
