Nutrients for Your Nervous System

Research shows that chronic inflammation can damage nerves, leading to an increased risk of nervous system disorders such as Parkinson’s, ALS, Alzheimer’s disease, and stroke. The good news is that whole foods, rich in nutrients, fiber, and antioxidants help keep inflammation low, reducing cellular damage. Rita shares her list of herbs and spices that have excellent anti-inflammatory qualities. She also prepares a Berry and Papaya Salad with Lemon Ginger Dressing - simple, delicious, and great for your nervous system! You can download today’s recipe from our blog, at yrmchealthconnect.org.
