5 Ways To Stop Neuropathy Pain

If you have diabetes, chances are you feet hurt. Neuropathy is a common side effect. Just like your ability to reverse diabetes, you have the ability to reverse neuropathy. It's not easy. It takes time, dedication, and a strict policy to make sure you don't cause any further damage.

Neuorpathy is a side effect of diabetes. The nerve cells in our bodies are extremely vulnerable to sugar. Sugar is a poison to nerve cells. It strips the nerves of the myelin sheath that protects the nerves. Without this sheath, the nerves are exposed to any and all toxins or oxidative effects in the body. That's why it hurts.

When you make the choice to get rid of your diabetes and neuropathy, then you can start making the changes that really matter.

1. Stop eating sugar - The sugars and excessive insulin damage nerve cells. The first part of repair is to stop the damage. Avoid any processed food, sugary snack, or starchy foods, like breads, pastas, and white potatoes.


2. Hydrate - You can't flush out toxins without water. You increase your damage by not drinking. Allow your blood and lymph to move properly by drinking water. You'll find many issues disappearing just by drinking more. Oh, and soda, alcohol, juices, and coffees don't count as water.


3. Eat nerve healing foods - Peppers, mushrooms, onion, garlic, and leafy greens all contain many nutrients that help our body heal. They are low-carb, so you can eat lots of them. The rich phytonutrients that you can't find in supplements or boxed foods helps reverse damage and prevent dangerous diseases, like cancer.


4. Eat nerve healing herbs - Many herbs do wonders for helping us heal. Turmeric, ginger, and garlic are all herbs known to help healing. Don't waste your money on expensive supplements, they rarely work. Stick to the whole food and you'll get all the health benefits.


5. Exercise! You have got to move and be on your feet if you are going to heal the damage. Start with a few minutes of gentle walking, then add more and more as your body repairs itself.

Up until the moment we die, we have the ability to heal. Getting old is inevitable. Getting feeble is a choice.

All of these tips can be used for anyone at risk of having diabetes and/or neuropathy. They can prevent damage from ever occurring.

Of course, if you go back to doing what caused the original damage (eating too much sugar), your body will go back to being in pain and disease.
