Enjoy a Mediterranean Diet for Chronic Pain Management

Chronic pain is a problem for many people. However, with a little change in your diet, some of the pain can be eliminated. Hi, I'm Dr. Clark. No single food can completely stop chronic pain but a healthy diet is a powerful part of your pain management strategy. The Mediterranean diet, for example, is rich in fruits, vegetables and healthy unsaturated fats. It also includes a healthy dose of whole grains. Whole grains are rich in fiber which is a good for you ingredient that curbs appetite and helps you manage your weight. Maintaining a healthy body weight is important to keep chronic pain at bay, and whole grains are a good source of Magnesium, a mineral that has been shown in animal studies to fight muscle pain.
