The chronic inflammation caused by Lyme Disease may cause joint pain, muscle pain, brain fog, fatigue and more. A decrease in symptoms may be achieved by limiting the body’s inflammatory responses to Lyme Disease and tick-borne illnesses with some simple lifestyle changes to your daily diet and exercise routine.
- Remove gluten, dairy and sugar from your diet, which are highly pro-inflammatory foods
- Consume a diet that consists of mostly lean proteins, fruits and vegetables and foods that are high in healthy fats and have anti-inflammatory properties like fish, flax oil and avocados
- Consume foods that are high in fiber, like beans, broccoli and berries to help detox the bowels
- Drink at least 64 ounces of water daily, to help flush out toxins and waste
- Avoid caffeine, alcohol and saturated fats
- Be sure to get 7-9 hours of sleep per night
- Engage in gentle exercises, like yoga, swimming or walking several times a week
- Take a high-quality probiotic that contains at least 8 different bacterial species, including the core five: L. Plantarum, L. Acidophilus, L. Brevis, B. Lactis, and B. Longum.
- Take a good multivitamin that supports the immune system
- Add good quality supplements to your diet like Japanese knotweed, curcumin and a high-quality fish oil to help reduce inflammation
- Take an Epsom salt bath, which may help relax the nervous system and detox the body
- Try alternative pain therapies such as acupuncture and shiatsu massage
