5 Foods You Should Eat As Natural Pain Killers

Inflammation is what causes pain because of the way our brain responds to inflammation. According to Healthline, chronic inflammation can cause asthma, cancer, heart disease, and mental deterioration.

 

If you can prevent inflammation, you will be able to prevent pain and inflammatory diseases. Certain foods can promote inflammation, such as white flour and sugary foods.

 

EDITOR’S PICK:

 

In this article on EKO HOT BLOG, we would be looking at some foods that can help stop pains in the body.

 

1. Nuts and fish

Foods high in omega-3 fatty acids are good to help fight inflammation. If you use olive oil to cook your food, you will get a lot of it. This can help reduce pain in the joints.

You can also get omega-3 from edible nuts and fatty fish such as titus. You will notice a reduction in your pain when you eat them for some time.

 

2. Garlic and Onion

Food products made or cooked with bulbous plants such as garlic and onions can help reduce pain. They contain quercetin, a powerful compound that fights inflammation and reduces body pain.

However, eating too much garlic can cause stomach upset. You can choose to eat onions every day and garlic once every two weeks.

 

3. Beans

Eating beans and other whole grains can prevent inflammatory conditions in the body. Other sources of whole grains are oats, brown rice, and corn. They are unprocessed grains that still have their fiber intact. This is an essential nutrient needed for bowel movements and to prevent heart disease, hypertension, and arthritis.

 

4. Tumeric

Eat foods cooked with turmeric. Add this spice to your cooked food to support your body in fighting inflammation. The curcumin in turmeric has a very powerful anti-inflammatory effect on the body that reduces pain. To get its maximum benefit, add it to everything you cook.

 

5. Ginger

Cook your vegetables with ginger. Eating your food with ginger can help reduce pain in your knees, which is a common form of arthritis.
