Dallas, TX- Knee Pain Relief with These Two Super Foods
I was reading the current issue of AARP magazine when I stumbled onto an article that discussed the seven super foods that can help ease pain. I was really interested in two of the seven foods they were discussing since they had to do with relieving chronic knee pain. So in this blog I want to give you an overview of the two foods they talked about.(In the past, I’ve written about foods you should avoid or consume if you have chronic knee pain that you check out by clicking onto the link.)
Complaining of Chronic Knee Pain? Try Taking Ginger Extract
In one of my blogs I specifically wrote about ginger and how it can help relieve knee pain caused from muscle inflammation. Recently though another study about the benefits of ginger were released by the University of Miami. The study was conducted with patients who had been diagnosed with chronic knee pain. This six week study found that almost two-thirds of patients with chronic knee pain experienced less soreness upon standing after taking a ginger extract. The ginger extract also helped chronic knee pain sufferers walk with less pain after walking 50 feet compared to those taking a placebo. In addition, those taking the ginger extract reported taking less pain medication.
It is believed that taking as little as two to three teaspoons of ginger extract daily can block a key enzyme that induces inflammation and promotes knee pain.
Soy Also Helps Relieve Knee Pain
A study from Oklahoma State University stated that patient’s were able to reduce their pain medications by fifty percent after consuming 40 grams of soy protein daily for three months. For good sources of soy protein, increase your intake of soy milk, edamame, or tofu. The benefits of soy take at least two to three weeks before they kick in so be patient!
Changing Your Diet Will Make A Difference…
The bottom line is that diet plays a major role in how our bodies react. You can either have a diet filled with inflammatory promoting foods; for example, red meat, sugar, processed foods OR you can consume more anti-inflammatory foods such as soy and ginger.
