4 Superfoods that KO Arthritis Pain in a Flash

It’s well understood that your diet plays a crucial role in your arthritis pain. While the same foods that give you a trim waist and clear arteries will likely relieve your pain, a few foods stand head and shoulders above the rest. Add these 4 pain-fighting super-foods to your diet and you’ll probably feel a difference a few minutes after your last bite.

Blueberries

Blueberries are overflowing with nutrients that KO arthritis pain. Yummy blueberries are especially rich in crucial compounds called antioxidants. Antioxidants are your body’s bodyguards that protect your joints from damage. If you don’t get enough of them, expect epic arthritis flare-ups to take hold. In fact, a USDA commissioned study found that wild blueberries have more antioxidants than any other food on planet Earth! Research at the University of Prince Edward Island recently found that eating blueberries significantly reduced arthritis pain.

Green Tea

If you have arthritis, there’s an acronym that should be part of your vocabulary: EGCG. EGCG is the insanely beneficial compound found only in green tea that fights everything from cancer to cavities. Used for centuries as a pain reliever in China, green tea is earning the notice of University researchers in the West. A study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science found that EGCG drops inflammation and relieves pain in people with severe arthritis.

Broccoli

If you’re like most people, your mother made you down this bitter green cruciferous veggie as a kid. If you followed to her advice into adulthood, you may not have arthritis today. Scientists at the University of East Anglia recently figured out why broccoli helps people with osteoarthritis–by far, the most common arthritis type. They found that broccoli (and only broccoli) contains a funny sounding nutrient called sulforaphane. Sulforaphane presses the “OFF” button on enzymes that destroy vulnerable joints and cartridge.

Kidney Beans

In terms of arthritis pain, kidney beans have a lot going for them. First, it’s got almost as much antioxidants per ounce as blueberries. Also, they’re one of the few carbohydrate sources known as “slow carbs.” Slow carbs are digested and absorbed slowly –unlike white bread, potatoes, and soda. Studies show that replacing rapidly digesting carbs with slow carbs relieves arthritis pain. Last (but not least), kidney beans are bursting with soluble fiber. Soluble fiber fights appetite and accelerates the weight loss results you get from dieting.

Why Do We Develop Vertigo And Dizziness?

Dizziness and Vertigo 

(by Christian Goodman)

  It is actually amazing that we can in fact stand on two feet without falling. And not only that, many of us can run, jump, spin around in circles or even ride a bike down a steep stony mountain hill without falling.
Notwithstanding specific impairments, the human balance system allows us to do this. But unfortunately, the balance system does not always function right and when it stops functioning we experience a feeling called vertigo or dizziness (I’ll talk about it as the same thing here because the cause is the same although these two feelings are experienced in a different way).
Everyone has experienced some form of dizziness or vertigo.  Perhaps an ear infection left you wobbly on your feet. Or, you’ve suddenly jumped up from a sitting position very quickly and felt the need to sit right back down.
Typically, there is no need to find a cure for such short term occurrences.
However, thousands of people suffer from what is called chronic vertigo/dizziness. If you suffer from this condition, you either constantly feel dizzy or you get dizzy several times a year, month or even week – often without any obvious reason.
The balance system or rather the impaired balance system is the culprit for this chronic condition.
Below are the three balance systems we all have:
Eyes, Ears and Body sense.
Our balance system is so advantaged that even if one part goes out, we may feel it a little but we’ll still function pretty much normally. Most blind people can walk normally – so can a person who has problems with the balance system in his/her ears.
We need to exercise all three sytems though, because we are not so fortunate when more than one of our balance systems is experiencing problems.
How can we improve our balance system?
Stress or muscle tension surrounding the eyes, ears or upper body is responsible for vertigo or dizziness the majority of the time.
Ear impairments will cause you to view your surrounds slightly differently than the balance system in your eyes do.
The unsteady feeling is the result of the brain trying to process these different perceptions. If your reading glasses are not the right strength, you’ve probably experienced this. Now if your balance system in your ear was 100% and your body’s balance system was 100% – you could still function pretty well even if there was a problem with the eye’s balance system. But it hardly ever is so you feel dizzy or even experience the world spinning around you.
The solution is to strengthen and loosen up all muscles around all your balance systems – as well as strengthening your body’s balance awareness.
Each balance system does not have to be at 100%.  If each one is well above average, complete relief can be attained.

Christian Goodman is a well known natural health researcher and the author of many natural health alternatives. His recent work is his vertigo treatment, which has now assisted thousands of people to cure dizziness and vertigo.
