Diet and Nutrition in Pain Management

A high carbohydrate and low fat diet was considered healthy at one time. But it has been determined by Dr. Atkins and others that high carbohydrate diet is harmful.

The controversy continues, but it appears best to eat a low carbohydrate diet rich in fruits and vegetables and high in Omega 3 fatty acids as found in fish and grass-fed-meats. Omega 3 fatty acids help to decrease inflammation in the body.

The current recommendations is to eat a variety of foods to get energy, protein, vitamins, minerals and fiber for good health.
