Best Foods for Pain Relief
Can you get chronic pain relief from food? Check out eight foods that fight pain to include in your chronic-pain-management strategy.
No single food can completely stop chronic pain, but a healthful diet is a powerful part of your pain-management strategy. The Mediterranean diet, for example, is rich in fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and healthful unsaturated fats.

A wholesome diet also helps prevent pain-aggravating weight gain and boosts your energy levels and mood so you can cope more comfortably.
