So, if you had a particular chronic pain problem, you might start with interesting foods that have been shown to help a little with chronic pain problems.
The berries, particularly, people think that, in fact, they might have some benefit. Some unrefined grains, and start incorporating those into your diet and also as part of a weight loss programme, if you’re overweight. It’s really difficult to engage with more and more physical activity, if you’re carrying a lot of extra weight.
So that sort of things can help as well.
