Neuralgia is an inflammatory process of nerve endings. The causes, signs and types are different, but we will not dwell on them, because the subject of our attention is the food that should and should not be taken in case of established neuralgia.
Useful foods for neuralgia
Foods that are useful to consume in such a health problem should be rich in vitamins B, E and thiamine. They help strengthen the immune system and prevent various inflammatory processes. Such foods are:
- lean meats, low-fat dairy products - rich in vitamin B12;
- bread and pasta, bran - contain thiamine;
- melon, potatoes, spinach - they have a large amount of vitamin B6;
- vegetable fats, nuts, avocados, wheat (wheat germ), whole grains, eggs, seafood - they all enrich the body with vitamin E.
