Do You Follow A Specific Diet To Help With Chronic Pain?

I've spent many years passionately fine tuning my diet to reduce inflammation. I suggest avoiding as much refined carbs as possible - like sugar and wheat. Avoid processed food when possible. I've found that spices such as turmeric, ginger, cayenne, cumin, coriander, and others often used in Indian/Bengali curries are what combat inflammation best for me. Try to listen closely to your body when you eat. Also be careful with artificial sweeteners and refined seed oils. I try to stick with coconut oil, olive oil, avocado oil or ghee for cooking.

Can you use fresh herbs to add flavor to your meals? When my body wants to reject food I find that herbs are calming.

Excellent no prosses foods. Peanut butter is protein excellent plus herbs instead of salt. Also gives flavor
