The foods you eat have a massive impact on your overall health, and they are especially effective when you are working to protect your nerve system.
While supplements can bridge the gap with certain deficiencies, one of the best ways to work toward a healthy spine and functional nerve system is by prioritizing a healthy, anti-inflammatory diet that incorporates some delicious and nutritious ingredients.
1. Dark leafy greens:
Spinach, kale, and collard greens are packed with B vitamins that support your nerve system.
2. Nuts & seeds:
They are an excellent source of vitamin E, which contains antioxidant properties that protect your nerve cells from damage. Pumpkin seeds and almonds are among the doctors’ favorites.
3. Fatty fish:
Salmon, mackerel, and sardines contain omega-3 fatty acids, which help support brain function and reduce inflammation throughout your body.
4. Whole grains:
Brown rice, quinoa, and oats also have B vitamins essential for healthy nerves.
5. Lean protein:
Protein is vital for producing neurotransmitters, which help transmit messages between nerve cells. Beans and legumes are great sources, as well as chicken, turkey, or fish.
6. Berries:
Blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries are delicious and packed with antioxidants that can help protect your body and nerves against damage.
7. Avocados:
This bright green fruit is rich in vitamin E and healthy fats that support your nerve system.
8. Dark chocolate:
This decadent treat contains flavonoids with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. These can help lower blood pressure and improve blood flow to the brain and the heart.
You can heal and protect your body by choosing high-quality, organic foods that support your system’s function. Try adding some of these ingredients to your grocery list this March.
