Did you know that chronic pelvic pain can be managed through diet? The BC Women's Centre for Pelvic Pain & Endometriosis explains: "Many women with chronic pelvic pain also have a condition called central sensitization of the nervous system. Sensitization can be reduced. Inflammation is a contributor to chronic pain, and so following an anti-inflammatory diet can help to reduce pain." Among their many helpful recommendations are to increase: - vegetable proteins (brightly colored fruits and vegetables, nuts) - low-glycemic vegetables and fruits (berries, cherries, apples, pears) - foods high in Omega-3 fatty acids (cold water fish, leafy greens, nuts) - foods high in fiber - foods that contain anti-oxidants (onion, garlic) - spices and herbs that contain anti-inflammatory properties (ginger, cloves, nutmeg, rosemary, oregano, turmeric, cayenne) What's your go-to for breakfast in the morning?
