Taking care of your joints is tough business. As we age, we need help with the nutrition that feeds our body’s cartilage. If you have ever been in my office, then you know that sometimes nutrition isn’t enough to give your body all of the nutrients it needs to heal and repair.

With over 34 million Americans living with Diabetes, and approximately 50% of them suffering from Neuropathy, it is no surprise that this is the one of the most asked questions we hear at my neuropathy center.  

Staying Hydrated Can Help Reduce Neuropathy Symptoms. 

Neuropathy Pain Might Be Increased By Dehydration.

Dehydration is talked about so often that we start to tune it out. That’s what happens when you hear the same message over and over again; you become almost immune to hearing it. Well it’s time to tune back in. The first step to improving your neuropathy pain can be so simple and free. Focus on what you put into your body.  

Think about your arteries and veins like a big river. That will almost always flow in some capacity. It is the creeks and the streams off the river that feed the nerves. That is called micro-circulation. If you cannot get blood flow to nerves, what happens?   The nerves die. Well, in order to even think about healing them, micro- circulation has to improve to get proper blood flow and nutrition to the nerves.   One big step in that is HYDRATION.

MAKE HEALTH A HABIT 

Commit to Small Changes to Develop Healthy Habits

You have heard many times about how important habits are for anyone looking to create lasting change; Easier said than done, right?! What you have done so far has gotten you to where you are…yet you do not like it.  

Doing the same thing over and over again is the definition of insanity.   To set you up for success, you need to know what it takes to make changes that stick.

Strategic change is especially important when you know your quality of life and your health depend on you making changes. Neuropathy pain and numbness can be debilitating; You need a plan with guidance to overcome and move past that pain and numbness.
