13 Feb Dr. Alfonso’s Top 6 Improvement Tips Neuropathy 2023
Peripheral neuropathy is a condition that results from damage to the nerves that connect the peripheral nervous system (arms, legs, hands, and feet) to the spinal cord and brain. If you have peripheral neuropathy, there are several things you can do to help manage your symptoms and improve your quality of life:
- Exercise regularly: Gentle exercise, such as walking, yoga, or swimming, can help improve circulation and reduce muscle weakness, tingling, and pain in the affected areas. Exercise and being active will help with blood sugar control, increase circulation, improve sleep, boost your mood, and decrease weight when combined with a healthy diet.The key message is you have to be consistent and get moving and exercise daily to stay healthy.
- Control your blood sugar: If you have diabetes, it is important to closely monitor and control your blood sugar levels, as uncontrolled diabetes is a common cause of peripheral neuropathy. Elevated blood sugar is a major cause of neuropathy as a result of type 2 diabetes.The good news is with a little work and dedication you can greatly improve and in many cases reverse type 2 diabetes with proper diet and exercise.
- Quit smoking: Smoking can damage your blood vessels and make neuropathy symptoms worse, so quitting smoking is essential to improve your condition. This one lifestyle change will greatly affect your chances of improving your neuropathy condition.
- Take care of your feet: Regular foot care, including wearing properly fitting shoes and avoiding cuts, sores, and blisters, can help prevent further nerve damage.If your feet are affected by neuropathy monitor your feet daily for color changes or wounds.
- Manage your stress: Chronic stress can worsen neuropathy symptoms, so it’s important to manage your stress through relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing, meditation, or massage.
- Healthy diet: Eating a healthy and balanced diet can help improve overall health and reduce symptoms of neuropathy. Eating a healthy nutrient dense diet from natural whole foods such as a variety of vegetables, fruits, eggs and meats. Increase whole foods that provide B vitamins, Vitamin E and Vitamin D. Sunlight is best for Vitamin D. Eliminate or greatly reduced processed foods. Most items in a bag, wrapper, or box are usually highly processed with minimum nutrition. Plus they usually spike blood sugars and increase inflammation causing more pain.
- Check your medications: Many prescribed and over the counter medications can cause neuropathy. Research your current medication to see if they are contributing to your neuropathy symptoms and discuss with your doctor.
Remember, the best approach to managing peripheral neuropathy will depend on the underlying cause of your condition, so it is important to work closely with your doctor to develop an individualized treatment plan.
