How to Handle a Fibromyalgia Flare-Up

Having a healthy lifestyle

In regards to dieting, healthy eating is imperative in how it can create a decent lifestyle. Furthermore, “when you are in a flare, you must view food differently. Certain foods, such as wheat, dairy and refined-sugar cause inflammation. When you are in a flare you are looking to reduce inflammation, not add to it. Be very careful about what you eat and choose foods that will nourish your body and help it to heal.” Each food item eaten by a fibromyalgia patient needs to be recognized as critical to their overall health. Every flare-up is a reaction to something that has been introduced to the body, making every piece of food a variable in how it reacts with the condition.
