Superfoods to Help With Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is an illness that can lead to chronic pain and inflammation among other 
issues. Though your doctor can prescribe certain pain relieving medications for you, you 
may find that these medications only mask the pain and the inflammation is still there. 
There are other methods you can use to help with fibromyalgia including yoga and 
chiropractic care. What some sufferers of this illness do not realize is that superfoods 
can help as well. Here are the superfoods to consider that are easy to find, easy to 
incorporate, and budget friendly.

Wild Fish

Salmon, cod, and even catfish can help you with your fibromyalgia issues. Keep in mind 
that most of the issues associated with fibromyalgia are connected to inflammation and 
the pain associated with that inflammation. There are of course other issues, but this is 
the main one that most sufferers seem to have. Omega 3 fatty acids and DHA can help 
with the inflammation, joint stiffness, and pain. You can either eat fresh wild fish in a 
grilled or broiled format or you can take the fish oil pills if that is easier. Either way you 
can get the benefit of the superfoods and help reduce your issues.

Lean Proteins

There are several lean proteins that are considered to be superfoods. Chicken and 
salmon are among them. By taking in these lean proteins you can help reduce pain in 
the body and help give your body the nutrients and protein it needs without giving 
yourself the bad fats or carbs that may be associated with other foods. Lean proteins 
also help if you are trying options like yoga to help with your chronic pain or if you are 
moving into other exercises to help reduce weight that can be causing pain and 
fibromyalgia complications. 

Spinach

Spinach can give your body the iron it needs and may be lacking if you are on any kind 
of prescription medications. Remember, some of the medications can help with pain 
while reducing the minerals that your system needs to function on a normal basis. This 
means you are in a constant game of trying to replace in order to reduce. Instead, add 
spinach to your diet along with other superfood greens like kale. 


If you have issues with your fibromyalgia in the morning, more so than at night, consider 
making a superfood juice or smoothie that will get the benefits to your body quickly and 
give you some relief as well. If you have the issues at night, consider incorporating the 
superfoods into a dinner that will have time to work on your system overnight.
