The Key to Managing Inflammation
A great starting point if you are experiencing chronic pain is to avoid foods that create inflammation in the body and to eat foods which are naturally anti-inflammatory:
Avoid These 8 Foods (which cause inflammatory pain):
Arthritis sufferers often experience early morning stiffness, stiffness following periods of rest, pain that worsens with use, and loss of joint function. The most common arthritis symptoms include local tenderness, soft tissue swelling, bony swelling, and restricted mobility. Joint pain may include hip pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, heel pain, and neck pain among others. Arthritis signs and symptoms may include:
- Trans fats, hydrogenated oils (margarine or shortening), and refined polyunsaturated oils such as sunflower, safflower, cottonseed and corn oil
- Conventional, non organic red meat
- Grilled and processed meats
- Refined carbohydrates (white rice, white flour, white bread, noodles, pasta, biscuits and pastries, etc.)
- Sugar
- Non organic dairy products
- Chemical additives and preservatives
- Foods that you are sensitive or allergic to, such as nightshade vegetables (potatoes, tomatoes, sweet and hot peppers, eggplant, tomatillos, pimentos, paprika, cayenne), gluten, wheat, soy, corn, dairy, eggs, etc.
Anti-inflammatory Foods You Should Eat:
- Spices, such as ginger, turmeric, cayenne, cinnamon, dill, rosemary, oregano, and basil
- Herbs, such as green tea, licorice, and nettles
- Omega-3 fatty acids found in wild salmon, flax, and walnuts
- Dark leafy greens, such as bok choy, collards, kale, mustard greens, turnip greens, dandelion greens, and spinach
- Colorful fruits and vegetables, such as berries, citrus, melons, pears, apples, beets, carrots, cabbage, onions, yams, peppers, cauliflower, broccoli, mushrooms, garlic, and leeks
- Whole grains, such as brown rice, millet, quinoa, spelt, and amaranth
- Legumes, such as lentils, black beans, pinto, and garbanzo beans
- Nuts and seeds, such as almonds, pine nuts, Brazil nuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and walnuts
- Sea vegetables, such as wakame, kombu, hijiki, arame, nori, and dulse
- Healthy fats, such as eggs, avocados, butter, flaxseed oil, nuts and seeds, nut butters - (almond butter, pumpkin seed butter, sunflower seed butter, and tahini), olives, sardines and other oily fish (cod, haddock, mackerel, and salmon), meats (buffalo, lamb, organic / grass-fed beef, and venison), cooking oils (olive, coconut, and ghee)
- Organic dairy foods / dairy alternatives, such as milk made from almonds, rice, hemp, oats, soy, and coconut

If making diet changes seems daunting, we encourage you to start slowly. Begin by exchanging the unhealthy snacks that you may rely on, to ones with healthier benefits. For example, to satisfy hunger cravings at work, avoid reaching for a candy bar or chips. Instead, have on hand fruit, mixed nuts, raw vegetables with hummus, or a protein shake. See if you can swap out one of your cups of coffee with a antioxidant rich cup of green tea. Now see how easy that was!

I’ve been using for many years—works well for me

Excellent product
Always available to answer question

This is a good magnesium for sleep!

I have been using this product for a number of years now and have found it to be very valuable in maintaining good health. It is certainly better than taking a
prescription with side affects and less expensive as well.

I have been using Lung Bronchial and Sinus off n on for 5 yrs for anything respiratory. I recently breathed in cotton poison and this product is clearing out the green mucous that was fogging my lungs! It works fast every time!

I have hagimoto's hypothyroidism and Crohns diease so my skin is VERY dry and I get dry patches on my face now (as if the body wasn't bad enough) LOL anyway I use this product everywhere and it is fantastic!! Try it you will LOVE it.

Great overall

Glad this old physicians iodine treatment pill choice has resurfaced in available supplement form. Are there other higher strengths available over and above this starting dose being this is the best form for rebuilding body's iodine reserves and repacking the thyroid.

I had a new mattress and still felt achy all day. I started taking potassium supplements and the achiness went away.

I very much appreciate the nutritional
Counseling to ensure my needs were met in selecting a multivitamin. I am confident that I am getting the supplements I need with Ladies One +.

This supplement is on the top of my list to nip chest congestion in the bud and prevent it from developing into bronchitis or pneumonia. I like to keep a bottle in my medicine cabinet to have on hand at the first sign of illness.
