* Whole 30 anti-inflammation diet
* Mysore-style Ashtanga Yoga
If both are done diligently together every day, after 2 weeks you will likely see drastic improvement.
It's not a cure - if I stop, after 2 days I'm back in excruciating pain. But when I do these regularly, I can go through the day forgetting that I have neck problems.
Even though the doctor (Gundry) provides mostly anecdotal evidence in his book The Plant Paradox - you might want to try cutting out cashews and nightshade vegetables which are approved on Whole 30. I felt a difference when I cut those two things out.
After extensive testing, I believe they cause serious issues for me (fatigue, bowel issues, etc)
But when I search for info, I just find sites from sort of woo-woo sources. (Chiropractors, naturopaths, etc)
I'd like to read something more definitive. Both for my own purposes, and also to point people to, as the category itself makes people skeptical.
Spicy food, sure, people get that. But potatoes? That's a weird one for most.
(I've had enough cases where I didn't realize something was a nightshade and I had a bad effect from it that I don't think I'm merely fooling myself, but the quality of articles about it is disturbing).
What did the rodent studies find?
Any book or yogashaala recommendation ?
It's incidence also, anecdotally, seems to be increasing.
