With stress becoming a part of life, physical fitness seems close to impossible to be maintained properly. Although there are many fitness freaks out there not everyone are as fit to stay away from physical problems, major and minor.
A problem that is common and adds to stress is pain, from joints and muscles. Pain can occur anywhere in your body and can stay for a long period of time. The most commonly affected areas for working professionals are lower back, hips and leg joints.
This can occur mainly due to the reason that working professionals spend hours in their office, glued to their chairs. Since there is not much time to move around and stretch limbs to loosen muscles, the muscles get cramped and pain occurs.
The most commonly used method to avoid pain is by taking pain killers. They act fast and quickly deliver remedy. Though they are fast and effective, regular use of pain killers has several side effects in the long run. Moreover, at one point of time, your body will become immune to the pain killers instead of becoming immune to the pain.
Foods that save you from misery:
So it is better that you change your food habits and include healthy items that are natural pain killers. For example, ginger is a good pain killer. Not only is it an ingredient that adds more taste and spice, ginger can relieve you of many pains ranging from stomach cramps, headaches, muscle pains and even arthritis.
Apart from ginger, salmons and tart cherries are also popular pain relieving foods. Orange juice and coffee is great not just for headache but also for other joint pain.
Since exercise is quite tough for regular working professional working for long hours, changing their food habits is the only thing that can be done as a precaution. There is however a small disadvantage with these food patterns. The ingredients used will build your body in a stronger way to withstand pain but it will not deliver relief immediately like pain killer medicines.
There is one thing that can be done to stay fit and healthy. You could change your food pattern and include pain relieving foods and in the event of any pain occurring, you could always take pain killers. This way, you will not face major side effects due to the pain killers but make sure that you don’t give in to pain killers often.
