Hi there. I'm Tom Ingegno, licensed acupuncturist, and owner at Charm City Integrative Health. Now our office has some amazing services and treatments (acupuncture, cryotherapy, cold plunge, Live O2) that help knock down inflammation, improve mobility, and reduce pain, but let's say you can't get it in as often as you like? Here are three simple tips you can quickly implement into daily your health routine
Tip Number 1: Stretching
Sounds simple right well it is and best of all it's free doesn't have to be an elaborate yoga routine or some crazy pretzel looking things just take some time every morning before you even get out of bed and move around. Stretch and twist and bend and get some blood flowing. Studies show that getting the fascia to move can really help reduce inflammation.
Tip Number 2: Magnesium
Studies suggest that over 80% of the population here in the U.S. is deficient magnesium. Supplementing with this either through a pill or Epsom salt baths or sprays or creams will increase the amount of magnesium in your body which has been shown not only to reduce inflammation that helps improve sleep and even in higher doses, helps with bowel movements.
Top Number 3: Turmeric
Turmeric is a spice that's been around than Indian food for thousands of years. It's been used in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for just about as long as well. Now studies show that not only is this a great antioxidant but it helps detoxify the liver and reduce systemic inflammation. There are tons and tons of studies to show that turmeric along with bio pairing or black pepper really can help improve joint mobility and reduce pain.
