6. Pineapple. The tropical fruit contains a powerful enzyme known as bromelain. Bromelain is known to break down inflammatory proteins. It is can therefore be helpful in not only reducing pain caused by CTS, but also in healing the syndrome more quickly, says Reader’s Digest Best Health Magazine.
7. Whole grains. Magnesium, found in whole grains, legumes, and green vegetables, is important in nerve function and muscle relaxation. Eat a magnesium-rich diet and consider taking a magnesium supplement to target CTS symptoms, says Reader’s Digest Best Health Magazine.
8. Flaxseed oil. Like fish and olive oil, flaxseed oil is rich in inflammation reducing omega-3 fatty acids. Reader’s Digest Best Health Magazine recommends drinking a tablespoon mixed in with your morning orange juice or your evening salad dressing.
CTS can be irritating and disruptive to your personal and work life. So start including pineapple, walnuts, turmeric, and flaxseed oil in your everyday diet. In fact, these ingredients together sound like a tasty anti-inflammatory smoothie!
