Healthy Breakfast to Reduce Inflammation
Shared by Dr. Bryan Stephens
Our Chiropractors in East Dallas teach patients that along with how we are moving, our diet and stress effects our over all health. Getting a healthy breakfast to start your day is very important when it comes to reducing inflammation and limiting neck and back pain. Unfortunately, too many breakfast items are focused on sweets. Donuts, cereal, pancakes and syrup come to mind as basic staples that ramp up the blood sugar and insulin spikes. One way to help avoid the spikes is to focus on starting your day with a savory food and protein. This reduces the impact of the insulin response and can help maintain insulin sensitivity in the long run. That and it helps lower the processed sugar that is highly inflammatory to our body and adds to the swelling that causes neck pain and back pain.
