Treat Yourself and Your Pain this Mothers Day

March is about celebrating all you wonderful Mums out there and rightly so! But while you enjoy a well-deserved day of TLC and some much needed rest and relaxation, think about what your back goes through on a daily basis and how important your spine is in enabling you to juggle all the incredible things you do.

Don’t worry; we’re not about to give you a list of exercises to do on Mother’s Day (it is the day to put your feet up after all!). We are however, going to tell you about two incredible foods that can help to ease those daily aches and pains.

Fantastic Food # 1: Ginger (for muscle pain)

According to our leading London chiropractor, the potent compounds in ginger can help to prevent the production of pain-stimulating hormones. This can be helpful in those of you who suffer from muscle and joint pain. A great tip is to add one teaspoon of dried ginger or two teaspoons of chopped ginger to your meals every day.

Fantastic Food # 2: Cherries (for joint pain)

Our chiropractor in central London suggests that eating a bowlful of cherries every day could help to ease your joint pain – and it’s all down to the amazing anti-inflammatory properties within them.

So many people turn to over the counter painkillers to deal with aches and pains simply because they don’t know about the natural healing remedies found in many foods. However, if we also start looking at healthy food as medicine, there are many hidden benefits to discover.

Have a happy and healthy Mother’s Day from all the team at our London clinic!
