Stay Healthy This Christmas with Top Advice from Our Leading Southend Chiropractor

The festive season is here, our homes are stocked with chocolate, chocolate and… more chocolate(!) and most of us will be slightly overindulging over the Christmas period. It’s the time of year to relax and enjoy and none of us want to worry about our health niggles in the process.

Our leading Southend chiropractor shares two joint-healthy diet tips that you can squeeze in around the naughty treats this Christmas:

1: Get your Antioxidants

Antioxidants massively help to fight free radicals, which can be damaging to your joints.
Here’s where you can get your all-important supply of these super health-boosters:

  • Vitamin C – Grapefruit, oranges papaya, pineapples, raspberries mangoes, raspberries, tomatoes, red peppers asparagus and broccoli
  • Vitamin E – Avocados, sunflower seeds, whole-grain breads and cereals and peanut butter
  • Selenium – Brazil nuts, salmon, oatmeal and brown rice

2: Don’t Forget Your Fatty Acids

Some fatty acids are naturally protective and can help decrease joint swelling and discomfort. The most well-known types of fatty acids are omega-3s which are found in salmon, sardines and herring. You can also get a good source of omega-3 by eating green vegetables, seeds, nuts and whole grains.

Our Southend chiropractors wish you a happy and healthy Christmas!
