Food Ingredients To Help Fight Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia-fighting-foods

These are the main ones I use and recommend but you can add others and mix it up a little of course!

Apples, Apple Cider Vinegar, Pears, Pineapples, Grapes – These foods are all rich in Malic Acid, a natural compound that plays a vital role in cellular energy production. Malic acid, when consumed with magnesium, has shown to decrease the symptoms of fibromyalgia.

Seeds, Nuts, Legumes, Dark Greens Like Kale, Collards, Spinach Broccoli – All of these are rich in magnesium. magnesium has been shown to reduce the intensity of the body’s stress response, a physical and neurological process that can trigger fibromyalgia symptoms. magnesium is especially effective when consumed with foods containing Malic Acid.

Almond, Flax Seeds, Garbanzo Beans, Sunflower Seeds – All of these foods are rich in Tryptophan, an amino acid used to manufacture melatonin in the brain. When released, melatonin regulates hormonal changes and sleep rhythms, which can both be compromised in patients with fibromyalgia.

Ginger Turmeric, Chia Seeds, Avocado – These are all foods that help to fight inflammation in the body and this is a contributing factor in the muscular and skeletal pain that comes with fibromyalgia. Specifically, ginger contains compound called Gingerols, Turmeric contains Curcumins and Chia and Avocado contain Omega 3 fatty acids, all of which are powerful antioxidants.

Macca Root (Pronounced Ma’cha) – An amazing South American superfood that has been used for millennia to improve stamina and fight fatigue in the high-altitude Andes mountains, making it an excellent energizer for those suffering from fibromyalgia fatigue.

Pea or Hemp Protein Powder – Alkalizing and highly bio available source of protein for amino acids needed for cellular energy, cellular growth, muscle repair and general tissue repair, cognitive functioning and immune functioning among other functions in the body.
