What foods do you eat or avoid that help?
If you take vitamins or supplements, which ones?
I've been cutting down on gluten -- I'm noticing a difference, but it hasn't been long enough yet.
At age 24, I stopped eating all preserved meats after my father died of cancer at age 51.
Forty years ago, I stopped eating beef because it causes inflammation and is unhealthy.
For an injury, I use rest, ice, compression and elevation. Also, taking ibuprofen for a few days reduces swelling and pain.
I did keto and it seemed to stop all sorts of things in my body from arthritis to acid reflux. Sugar and carbs seem to be the culprit for inflammation. I take magnesium only to stop muscle cramps from low sodium as well. I went off a bit over turkey week and felt terrible...not worth it.
Like others have said cutting out the carbs/gluten/soda/sugars and anything that converts to sugars in your system like alcohol will help. Make sure youre not replacing sugary drinks with diet containing aspartame, that shit's worse for you than real sugars. Not sure about its effects on inflammation but its linked to weight gain and alzheimers, similar neurological problems.
I also use CBD, and the rest of the cannibanoid family. Kratom is another legal natural supplement I've begun using for pain, seems to work well so far.
Turmeric and Garlic. be VERY careful with the Turmeric because it can interact badly with some psychiatric medications
Turmeric and black pepper.....sprinkle it on your food.
