In addition to pain, this condition can lead to chronic fatigue, memory problems, sleep changes, stiffness and changes in mood. Fibromyalgia is a very common pathology, characterized above all by very frequent muscle and bone pain . Below we give you some useful advice to prevent and treat it.
The cause of fibromyalgia is not yet known, but it is thought to be the result of an abnormal function of the central nervous system, which amplifies pain signals. It is not a dangerous pathology, but a painful one. While it does not cause damage to muscles, joints and bones, it causes a lot of discomfort and in some cases can be truly debilitating.
Eat more fruit. Citrus fruits, strawberries and cherries contain antioxidant properties that help delay the oxidation of cells and eliminate toxic substances from the body. Furthermore, it is important that the diet is rich in vitamins (A, C and E).
Eat more vegetable fats. Avoid fried foods, sausages and red meat, which are high in saturated fat. Vegetable fats, i.e. unsaturated fatty acids, help reduce cholesterol, protect the heart and provide antioxidants to our body (carotene and tocopherols).
