Pain! Pain Relief!

Pain!  During renovations, I fell. Thankfully, I did not break anything. But hurts like I did.    

Years ago, I would have grabbed the Advil (ibuprofen).  

Why not now? Because of the side effects. 

The most common side effects from ibuprofen are rash, ringing in the ears, headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, constipation and heartburn.   

Lately, in my efforts to reduce generalized inflammation I have been taking Turmeric (curcumin) with Carlsen’s Cod Liver oil *. I tried a good quality turmeric spice with the oil but it does not give me the same relief.   The only thing that works is the turmeric extract that comes in Adeeva’s Natural Pain Relief **.

From their website: Nature’s Relief contains the four most powerful anti-inflammatory herbs ever researched, each of which has been shown in clinical trials to reduce pain and swelling in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, advanced osteoarthritis, as well as other musculoskeletal inflammatory problems.

 

* Carlsen’s taste good, it comes in lemon or orange flavour. Dr. Russell Blaylock says the oil stimulates the absorption of the turmeric. I agree! It is more effective. One to two teaspoons is all you need.

 

That is it for now.  I off to rest and get better.

 

Genetics does not have to dictate my health.

Hello, my name is Lydia. I believe the best way to predict my future is to create it. To do that, I make it a habit to improve my health.

My goal is to maximize my physical performance and mental clarity, body composition, and most importantly my overall health with a wholesome diet and exercise.

Why am I so concerned, you may ask. My motivation came from watching my mother suffer from numerous illnesses. Her life was regulated by when she had to take her drugs.

I have been retired for a while and I have yet to experience any of her illnesses. I attribute that to eating a wholesome diet and exercise.

I supplement my diet with high-quality vitamins, mineral supplements.

In my posts, I focus on two diets: the Ketogenic (Low-Carb) and GAPS (Gut and Psychology / Physiology Syndrome) diets.
