Reduce Pain with Nutrition
Video by Dr. John Wertish
Pain can be reduced by what we eat. Inflammation is a healing process that can cause pain and one of the best ways to help reduce inflammation is putting in the right nutrition. Blackberries are high in antioxidants nutrition that can lower pain. These berries are packed with vitamins including vitamin C that help tissue repair, they also have potassium which is a mineral needed for healing and function in the body. Berries have a low glycemic index and are packed full of antioxidants which benefit insulin sensitivity. They have shown to reduce obesity because of the nutrition density and how the energy impacts our blood sugar. Here are a few quotes below from a research article about cherries and the impact on our health.
“BB (blackberries) feeding significantly increased fat oxidation and insulin sensitivity in overweight or obese men fed a high-fat diet including 600 g blackberries per day for one week compared to an energy matched control treatment in a randomized, crossover study.”
“Thus, berry anthocyanins likely invoke positive effects in myriad pathways related to glucoregulatory control. ”
