A Good Fibromyalgia Diet - Part 1
I've receive a real quality article from a woman in Illinois who has some advice about a good fibromyaliga diet. Here is the article from Diane:
Millions of people around the world suffer from a complicated medical condition that is referred to as fibromyalgia. Individuals that suffer from this condition experience many different symptoms. These symptoms often include pain, tenderness, and a general lack of energy. There are problems within the central nervous system that result in a person’s feelings of pain and other uncomfortable sensations associated with fibromyalgia. What may be a normal sensation to one is a sensation of immense pain to another. Many patients struggle for years just to find an effective coping strategy. Many have discovered that the foods that are consumed can have a direct impact on the ability to cope effectively. Here, I will address the main components of a fibromyalgia diet, and what constitutes one that will help to soothe the symptoms of this condition.
1. If you have fibromyalgia, you should seriously consider eliminating sugar from your diet. Sugar – especially at high levels – can result in the onset of symptoms of fibromyalgia. You may actually feel as if you are drained, you may find that you are more sensitive to pain, and a wide array of other symptoms if you consume high amounts of sugar.
2. Caffeine is another substance that should be avoided in the good fibromyalgia diet. Caffeine has been linked to many different symptoms of this medical condition. Many doctors have stated that caffeine is actually a “trigger” for this condition. Other triggers include alcohol, foods that are fried and even foods that are processed.
Part 2 of Diane's article will be posted in a few days.
