The Link Between Vitamin D and Neuropathic Pain
Getting vitamin D from your diet
Moreover, you should also take a few steps on your own in order to correct your nutritional deficiency and improve your overall health. For instance, consider:
- Spending some time in the sun
- Eating foods rich in vitamin D such as egg yolks, cheese, oily fish, and beef liver
- Taking other helpful vitamins such as a vitamin E supplement
- Taking supplements such as folic acid and bromelain to help alleviate joint pain and reduce your risk of complications from RA treatments
While a healthy diet alone will not be able to completely cure your condition, it can help you to maintain a healthy weight and stay in good health. In addition, eating foods rich in vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients as well as taking daily recommended supplements can help alleviate symptoms of RA and lower your risk of complications.
