Gelatin/Collagen. Eggs. Magnesium. Creatine.
I had Carpal Tunnel and have mostly healed it by adding these to my diet.
As long as the dairy is raw+grassfed+organic+fermented, it should be fine but make sure to increase the amounts gradually.
Thank you, moonstreams! I'll try to implement more gelatin and creatine in my diet. Sometimes I notice inflammation when I eat eggs. Bone broth soups make me feel the best at lunch time. I need some good anti-inflammatory breakfast suggestions as I don't like to eat too much fruit in the day.
You are welcome fren! Try to get pastured+organic eggs if you can. The farmed ones have way too much omega-6 (this is inflammatory unless balanced out by increasing your omega-3 intake).
Some of my favorites for breakfast:
Eggs + generous fat (butter/olive oil/bacon/lard/tallow)
Oats (least anti-nutrients out of all whole-grains AFAIK, cook longer for best result), add coconut oil/milk, some seasalt and white sugar or honey.
Orange juice (I add gelatin or hydrolyzed collagen)
Coffee+gelatin+sugar+fat (for you I suggest using ghee as it's devoid of casein and milk solids, although I would recommend casein as one of your protein sources once you are able to incorporate more dairy)
When I crave potatoes (this varies for me, sometimes I eat them daily for a month and then take a break from them as I don't crave them) I will make a lot of mashed potato in advance (cooking potatoes for 2-4 hours for best result), and then frying some of it alongside my eggs, sometimes I make and eat this 2-3 times daily as a tiny meal especially if I workout a lot.
That may be my problem with inflammation and eggs as I often switch between the brown pastured eggs and normal store bought eggs. I'll try sticking with pastured eggs for awhile to see if that makes a difference. I also have ghee available so I'll make that change too. I'm going to try to add more turmeric into my foods and get away from processed foods. I know what to do, but just need to stick to it. My aunt who passed away recently lived a long and healthy life into her nineties as she never ate a lot of sugar. She had her mind. I've been reading a lot of books on the dangers of sugar, corn syrup and gluten being linked to dementia and Alzheimer's. This original post is helping me reevaluate what health changes I need to make for myself! Thank you everyone for your comments!
Turmeric is good in small amounts, don't forget to add a small amount of black pepper to make it bio-available (enhances body uptake by +1000%) as well as a small amount of fat. half a teaspoon of turmeric daily is more than enough.
If you have issues sticking to it, try to identify your craving and replace it with a "clean/beneficial" one-ingredient version of it, then eat away to your heart's desire. Adding a lot more fat into your diet initially also helps a lot with cravings.
