Use ginger:
There are good reasons to eat ginger even when you’re not doubled over.
Another natural aspirin impersonator and anti-inflammatory, it can
offer relief from migraines, arthritis pain, and muscle aches. Make
ginger tea by placing sliced, peeled gingerroot in boiling water and
letting it steep for 15 minutes. For ginger lemonade, combine grated
gingerroot, lemon juice, and honey with ice water.
Eat salmon, herring, sardines:
Eating fish low in mercury and high in omega-3 fatty acids can help
relieve back pain. Omega-3s help by improving blood flow and tamping
down inflammation in blood vessels and nerves.
Take turmeric: This
essential curry spice has anti-inflammatory properties, courtesy of a
substance called curcumin. Turmeric can protect the body from tissue
destruction and joint inflammation and also preserve good nerve cell
function.
Eat yoghurt: Several
bacterial strains that are often in yogurt reduce pain, inflammation,
and bloating. Look for a brand with “live and active cultures.”
Drink coffee: Coffee
delivers a one-two punch by reducing pain-promoting compounds and
amplifying the effect of other pain relievers too. However, don’t drink
too much.
Eat hot peppers: The
same peppers that singe your tongue and bring tears to your eyes can
take away pain. An ingredient in hot peppers called capsaicin does the
trick by stimulating nerve endings and depleting a chemical that relays
pain signals. The hotter the pepper, the more capsaicin it contains.
