Pain treatment does not necessarily require medication!
Treating headaches doesn't necessarily mean taking medicine! I often have patients who come to me for treatment due to unexplained pain. Some cases are just the most common types of pain, yet they have been troubling the patients for years. Some patients report: seeing doctors everywhere and taking large amounts of medication without any improvement. Hearing them say this, I feel that such conditions can actually be gradually alleviated with the simplest dietary therapy. For example, the most common type of migraine; I suggest eating more fatty fish such as salmon and sardines. This is because prostaglandins and hormone-like chemical substances in the human body are important causes of inflammation and migraines, while fatty fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which can reduce the production of these substances. People with migraines should avoid processed meats like sausages, as well as monosodium glutamate (MSG), red wine, chocolate, and lemons, because studies show that 20% of migraine cases are related to these foods.
For elderly people prone to joint pain, it is advisable to eat more vitamin C-rich foods such as strawberries, oranges, and kiwis. Vitamin C reduces joint wear and plays an important role in the synthesis of collagen, which is a crucial component of cartilage and bones.
For women suffering from dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation), I recommend eating more flaxseeds. When prostaglandins enter body tissues, the uterus can react with spasms, which is an important factor causing dysmenorrhea. Consuming high-fat fish and flaxseeds can both prevent the release of prostaglandins, and the reason lies in their content of omega-3 fatty acids. However, for women, arachidonic acid found in raw fish or dairy products can promote the release of pain-inducing prostaglandins. Therefore, she suggests that those with dysmenorrhea consume 1-2 teaspoons of flaxseed oil daily, which can be spread on bread or used in salads.
For office workers commonly experiencing stomach pain and acid reflux, I recommend eating more ginger. Ginger strengthens the contraction of the lower esophageal sphincter, preventing stomach acid from flowing back into the esophagus. On the other hand, some high-fat foods, butter, and meat inhibit the contraction function of the lower esophageal sphincter. Additionally, spicy or sour foods may also cause stomach pain and acid reflux, so it's best to minimize their consumption.
Treating diseases does not always require taking medicine; paying attention to your diet structure can help you avoid illness. Some beneficial vegetables, fruits, and fish can even play a therapeutic role. Isn't there a best-selling book called "Seeking Medical Advice Is Not As Good As Seeking Yourself"? Hopefully, one day everyone will become their own good doctor, no longer needing to seek medical care. Even if I were to lose my job, I would still be happy, hehe...
