Hey Friend, Do you know about inflammation and Pain?�
�
Inflammation isn’t just a part of endometriosis but it’s one of the main reasons why pain shows up in the first place. 😢
Focusing on ⬇️ the inflammatory load (in your body) plays an important role in reducing pain.
👍 Here’s the good news?
There are many foods with anti-inflammatory properties, and for many people with Endo, food is the easiest place to start.
🌿Nutrition isn’t a cure but it can definitely help turn the volume down on inflammation.”
That’s why I often recommend antioxidant-rich foods, like the ones below, to help calm inflammation in the body ⤵️
🥗 Polyphenols is the large family of plant based antioxidants: Found in pulses, coffee, and spices like turmeric and ginger.
🍒 1. Flavonoids
A type of polyphenol found in soybeans, dark chocolate, leafy greens, citrus, and many more.
🫐 2. Anthocyanins
These give plants their deep blue & red colours and are linked to immune-supporting and anti-inflammatory benefits.
🍵 3. Catechins
Found in teas, apples, cocoa (and yes, even red wine 😉).
🫒 4. Extra-virgin olive oil
It Contains a polyphenol called oleocanthal, which has been shown to help mitigate pain and inflammation.
🍇 5. Last but not least: resveratrol
Found in red grapes.
🐟 Andt we can’t ignore the benefits of Omega-3 & healthy fats
Found in salmon, sardines, nuts and seeds, olives, avocado. 🥑
Adding more of these foods before and during your period may help calm inflammation during an endometriosis flare,
🙌🏼 and for many warriors that can mean less pain and better symptom support 🤍
