Hi Diane,
Thanks for your help. I bought some zyflamend(I read about some woman's use of it here on empowher for stiffness in the legs)and will keep you updated on how it's working.
As far as the food issues go...I have copy pasted for ease and clarity.
- sugar..I am very anti sugar and only consume it accidentally. I am an avid label reader.
- saturated fat...again, being a health food addict, I avoid these.
- junk food....I basically NEVER eat it!
- high-fat meats....I haven't eaten meat in over 20 years!
- processed meats.....ditto!
- high-fat diet products.....I prepare my own food most of the time and use healthy, natural ingredients.
- cut back on potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant.....I have always disliked potatoes but eat a large amount of tomatoes....I will try and cut down and see what happens.
For the foods that help inflammation:
- Omega-3 essential fatty acids, such as fish oil, flax seed oil, walnuts and pumpkin seeds..... I eat a lot of these daily!
- a balanced daily multi-vitamin.....I actually prefer to get my vitmains the natural way, through fruits, veggies, etc...though now I have my zyflamend.
- olive oil....I get through an inordinate amount of olive oil....lol
- lean poultry, fish and wild seafood...I live on fish and seafood.
- nuts, legumes and seeds...ditto
- soy products...again, because I don't eat meat, I eat a lot of soy products.
- whole grains....brown rice, kamut, etc...I eat it all...
- fruits and vegetables (especially berries)....I eat a lot of strawberries, apples, blackberries, manges, pears and eat leafy greens every day.
- water, and green tea....again, very good...I start the day with water and lemon, consume a lot of spring water with my special added ph balancer, don't drink coffee and drink lots of green tea, detox teas and camomile,etc..
I find all of this very interesting as I truly believe that you are what you eat.....that's why it's surprising to me that I have this hand issue atall because my diet almost mirrors the recommended plan.....are we destined to inherit illnesses and pain?
I will work on using my left hand for more...like walking the dogs and carrying my hand bag, etc...
Thanks again, Diane!
