Recently, I posted a piece entitled: Is pain management possible through diet?
The post features a book about following eating foods that have natural anti-inflammatory properties. By reducing inflammation one is able to accompanying pain that is a part of many disease states, such as rheumatoid arthritis.
So today I am going to share a short list of some of these natural pain relievers. In the coming days, I will go through the list and feature them individually. I hope these foods are on your favorites list, and that by learning how to incorporate them into your diet, you, too will be able to reduce pain and suffering in your life that is due to inflammation.
And so, without further ado, here is the list!
Addendum: Some comments that appeared after this was published said that this post was interesting but too short. Fear not! Every post this coming week--and some other future posts are scheduled with much more detail about the effect of diet on inflammation. This post was merely the introduction!

Also,there is a link to an earlier post about diet above,and here are links to some of my past posts on nutritional effects on chronic pain:
1) The Role of Vitamin C in pain management
2) Chronic pain linked to Vitamin D deficiency
