Inflammation/Pain Reducing Foods
No products match your criteria
If you are experiencing any type of pain, your body is alerting you that there is inflammation present. Inflammation may still be present even without pain (e.g. cancer, heart disease). Poor food choices can increase any inflammation present. Limit processed foods, white sugar, white flour, trans-fats, and red meat each of which can aggravate or increase inflammation. Increase your servings of anti-inflammatory foods such as colorful fruits and vegetables, spices, and dark chocolate, which all contain powerful flavonoids that have antioxidant properties.
5 Anti-inflammatory Superfoods & Spices
1. Blueberry: Supports eye health, brain health, and vascular health. Ranked one of the best in terms of antioxidant activity. 2. Tumeric: Contains curcumin, a powerful antioxidant that has potent anti-inflammatory & detoxification capabilities. 3. Ginger: Contains anti-inflammatory chemicals (gingerols), which fight free radicals & pro-inflammatory chemicals. 4. Cold water fish: Omega-3 essential fatty acids (EPA/DHA) have strong anti-inflammatory & heart-protective activity. 5. Dark chocolate: Contains a high level of flavonoids, responsible for relaxing blood vessels & balancing inflammatory chemicals. |
An injury or an infection causes the body to respond with pain, heat, and swelling. This reaction is a protective response from a healthy immune system and initiates healing. Inflammation can become systemic or chronic if not completely resolved by the immune system. Chronic inflammation is neither protective nor beneficial to the body. In fact, it can be very damaging to your health. Factors that may cause systemic inflammation include stress, food allergies, mild or severe obesity, exposure to chemicals, or eating a diet high in refined sugars and processed foods. Chronic inflammation is believed to be the culprit behind many degenerative diseases including heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, and cancer. Ask your doctor about an important diagnostic test that measures your inflammatory level (C-Reactive Protein).
Allergic reactions to common foods such as dairy, wheat gluten, and nightshade plants (potatoes, peppers, eggplants, and tomatoes) can compromise health by creating a leaky gut. Damage to the gut lining from allergic reactions causes increased intestinal permeability, which can result in autoimmune-like disorders and further inflammation. If you experience symptoms such as continuous digestive discomfort, fatigue, skin irritation, or joint inflammation consider having a food allergy test done. This simple blood test measures your body’s immune response to food. The laboratory will provide you with a clear list of foods to avoid. You will find that you will feel much better once you remove these foods from your diet.
An enzyme deficiency can cause incomplete protein digestion and result in inflammation. Enzymes play a major role in the digestion and absorption of nutrients by ensuring the proper breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Raw foods, particularly sprouts, avocados, papayas, pineapples, bananas, and mangos provide a rich source of enzymes. Your body also produces enzymes, but not enough when stressed or aging. Some people simply lack enzymes, like those who do not produce lactase to digest lactose (milk sugar). Adding an enzyme complex can help to reduce inflammation as it ensures complete digestion of otherwise irritating proteins.
Let customers speak for us
from 694 reviewsI love, love, love this body butter. It is an amazing moisturizing and even the jar is beautiful. The scent is lovely, not overly “girly ” so a guy can benefit also.
Gave me a boost and seems to supply what I was lacking. Also, improves sleep.
Excellent Vitamin, I have been taking for years, it improved my numbers faster than any other brand. I also LOVE VIllage Green Pharmacy and the entire staff, they are incredibly helpful. Love the sales too. Thank you & Happy Thanksgiving.
My doctor prescribed a supplement blend with this in it, and then he closed his business to enjoy other pursuits. This was a great replacement as it calmed my nerves and helped my joint pain. I highly recommend it!
Great experience
I am so grateful for this protection option. This added protection came in handy. I live in an apartment complex and my mail carrier often loses my packages. When given the option for the package protection I knew I would likely need it and wouldn’t you know, I would have lost my money if it weren’t for the protection. I will continue to order from you and use this protection in the future.
As a colon cancer survivor of 26 years I have had quite a journey and the most important component for me like millions of people has been my digestive tract .
Probiotics have helped me tremendously after years of bowel instructions and not knowing how to help myself without medication and side effects .
I am a lifer for probiotics, and they can prevent illness as well , for those who have the opportunity to do so .
Both me and my husband enjoy these papaya enzymes. Can’t get enough of them.
A friend suggested your products for my father who has been diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia. Since my father has been on a regimen of suggested supplements to take, his symptoms have significantly lessened and he doesn’t have to take those harsh medications that will shorten his life span. This has truly been a miracle and a blessing. Hallelujah Thank you Jesus!
Slimprobio is really helping me to lose weight plus it has so many good probiotics. Really like it.
I have Fibromyalgia. The brain fog I was experiencing was debilitating. There were days that it was nearly impossible to think, speak, or remember what was said moments before. A friend mentioned taking Lion’s Mane. Not long after taking the Mushroom Science brand all those problems disappeared. Another thing that changed was my energy level, which was an added bonus. I am grateful.
I don't know why but, not recieved. I LOVE the product but, for some unknown reason the USPS said "incomplete address". I believe that email was a scam because they DIDN'T just ask for my address they asked for a credit card number!?!
great product
Works great I feel much better
These drops were recommended to me by a Holistic Doctor; they are very easily absorbed and do not cause any somach/gut issues. The combination of D3 and K2 are essential for maturing women and bone health. The drops do not taste like anything so there is no bad taste.
