Chronic pain is crippling and frustrating. The condition could be stressful and may suck your self-esteem out of you. More medications and treatments often times sometimes cause you more pain. True – pain in your body and pain in your pockets! It is not easy to spend for your physical therapy in rehab clinics. Health insurance may help with the cost. Really there is a way to get through with your body pain that is easy, slow, and sure – diet and physical activity!
A combination of fruits, vegetables, fish, low sugar, and little meat could help you manage your chronic pain condition and weight. Make your diet rich in olive oil, vegetables and whole grain. Drink plenty of juice and water. Try to make it a habit to eat only when it is time for you to eat or when you are hungry. Never think of food each time you are idle. Eating is habit forming. Try to curb it down until your body and stomach get use to your new eating habits.
Physical activity greatly improves your health and how you feel. The question is how much physical activity do you need to lose weight, maintain weight, keep your health, and feel better. Depending on your need, I would advise you to seek the help of a fitness doctor for a customize exercise program before you go to the gym or personally plan your own physical activity. Before I started my own physical activity, I made an appointment with a fitness doctor and I was given a customized exercise program. Although, I was not able to follow the gym and machine program, I was able to understand more on the diet aspect of the program.
Instead of going to the gym, I went to walk and jog at the park every morning. I improved my health greatly and was eventually able to manage my pain. I ate a lot of fish, oatmeal, fruits and vegetables. I lessen my intake with rice and chocolate cakes. I tried not to drink a lot of colas too. Fortunately I was able to curb it to half glass a month. Salt should be limited too. I began to steam my fish and just put some sauce in it. Sometimes it taste yukkss but you’ll get over it. This is only the start.
Improvements will be seen in a couple of weeks if you are consistent with your habit. I lose weight in about 2 months. Dieting and exercise needs consistency or you won’t be able to reach your target at all. The answer is pre-occupation when you think of food. Occupy your mind with work. This could be difficult at the start but once you have your mind set and are slowly getting use to the new habit, you will enjoy eating less and being physically active.
