I’ve been seeing a lot of patients with leg pain lately and I can’t help but think there is a correlation to a lot of people working from home as well.

Pickles are a big dill (deal) for your digestion because of their fermentation they provide probiotics that support gut health. The vinegar also aids digestion and helps cut fats which makes them a perfect side when having barbecue or a fatty meal. Some people find the pickle juice to help muscle cramps probably because of the sodium and potassium it contains. *Beware of the high sodium content for those with high blood pressure. And I prefer mine prepared locally from at the Winter Park Farmer’s Market on Saturday mornings. Who loves pickles and what kind? Full sour for me.

In TCM, sour foods help move the liver qi. If you know anyone irritated or angry, pass them a pickle. Pickles can also “wake up” a sluggish digestion and improve a diminished appetite. Happy National Pickle Day!
