Many doctors are now advising patients who experience chronic pain in parts of their body to give up grains and sugars for a few weeks. With the increase in popularity of the low carb diets, many people have noticed how much cleaner their body feels from the inside. Studies have recently shown that insulin and leptin levels are directly responsible for the increase in inflammatory prostaglandins in the body. Those suffering from pain and chronic inflammation usually see a remarkable difference in how they feel when they adopt a lower carb diet due to the reduction of sugars and grains. Researchers believe this occurs because some bodies react to specific proteins in foods, when this happens their immune system produces antibodies that attack these proteins and lead to pain causing inflammation to develop throughout the body. Gluten, found in many grains like wheat, oats, rye, and barley, as well as milk proteins, is the main culprit. Doctors recommend avoiding carbohydrate foods, and instead, consuming lean meat proteins such as fish, poultry, and seafood. Viable plant-based protein sources are also great options; if you are not allergic, consider eating Legumes, Walnuts, Almonds, Pecans, Brazil Nuts, Seeds, or soy products. Patients are encouraged to try this diet change for at least 90 days just to see if they notice a difference. It can be a difficult adjustment period for the first few days, but patients usually begin to see noticeable results by the end of the first week. What you feed your body affects how you feel on a daily basis. And this is most evident in chronic pain sufferers.
