sure to watch until the end because there's one that not too many people know about so if you're ready let's get into it [Music] just a quick reminder we are not doctors this video is for informational purposes only first and foremost let's talk about fish oil fish oil is loaded with anti-inflammatory properties which makes it great for repairing damaged nerves and treating neuropathy it has been shown to provide relief for muscle pain and soreness as well fish oil is available as a supplement and is generally considered to be safe to consume around 1 000 milligrams

per day although as always it's best to check with your doctor first for your own specific recommended dose one of the most beneficial properties found in fish oil just so happens to be the next item on our list and it is Omega-3 [Music] omega-3 is a fatty acid that is found naturally in certain foods or supplements like fish oil unfortunately our bodies don't produce Omega-3s on their own which means that we need to get it from our diet Omega-3s are known to reduce the risk of heart disease and other conditions but many don't realize that

they can benefit the nervous system as well studies found that omega-3 fatty acids work to repair nerve damage after an injury has occurred also they may be beneficial for those with diabetic neuropathy as well because a similar study showed that increasing omega-3 intake helped with nerve damage in the eyes of people with type 1 diabetes if you want to increase your omega-3 intake as we mentioned you can take a fish oil supplement or just simply try to eat more fish in your diet if you're not a fish eater flax seeds chia seeds and walnuts are

some other good sources of Omega-3 as well the next vitamin that we need to discuss is vitamin D this essential vitamin has many different roles in the body but it's most known to promote calcium absorption and mineralization so that your bones can grow strong and healthy people don't realize that vitamin D also affects the nervous system as well studies found that vitamin D deficiency can put people at a higher risk for neurological diseases such as schizophrenia Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis research also has shown that many people who already have symptoms of multiple sclerosis may

have less severe symptoms when their body is provided with adequate levels of vitamin D your body can take in vitamin D directly from sunlight or you can get it from your diet by eating foods like salmon tuna milk eggs and mushrooms speaking of calcium it just so happens to be next up on our list usually when you think of calcium the first thing that comes to mind is strong healthy bones however many don't realize that calcium is a mineral that also supports the nervous system as well calcium actually plays a role in the formation of

brain cells and helps form the pathways for communication to other parts of the body this is important because calcium can help repair nerve cells and build them back up once they become damaged in general calcium can be found in dairy products although many of them may actually have negative effects on the body instead some healthier alternatives to consume calcium include dark green vegetables chia seeds lentils and almonds next up on our list is magnesium one study found that those who consume high levels of magnesium in their diet were less likely to experience the negative side

effects that comes with neuropathy while more research and testing are needed in this area the preliminary findings seem to be promising some healthy foods that are high in magnesium include nuts avocados spinach whole grains and my personal favorite dark chocolate the next vitamin that can benefit the nervous system is vitamin B12 it's a vitamin that is typically known as an energy booster but it also offers benefits for your nerves as well it helps the body create DNA which helps keep the nerve cells healthy if your body is deficient in vitamin B12 nerve problems such as

numbness and tingling in the hands and feet can occur some signs of vitamin B12 deficiency include fatigue numbness difficulty walking and tingling in the hands feet or legs not to worry many common foods are naturally loaded with vitamin B12 including meat fish milk cheese and eggs another B vitamin that we need to mention is vitamin B6 vitamin B6 is another important vitamin that must be obtained from an outside Source when it comes to the nervous system this vitamin helps to form neurotransmitters which are substances that come from nerve cells and help send important messages throughout

the body vitamin B6 also helps to form the substance that creates a protective covering over nerve cells which is called myelin this means that getting adequate amounts of this vitamin in your diet is necessary for healthy nerve function some foods that are high in vitamin B6 include chickpeas bananas breakfast cereal salmon chicken and rice among many others [Music] next up is acetyl L-Carnitine it's a substance that helps our bodies produce energy but many don't realize that it also has been shown to help people with neuropathy as well one study found that acetyl-l-carnitine helped reduce pain

in people with diabetic neuropathy and carpal tunnel syndrome although it is produced naturally in the body it can be consumed in our diets as well from foods such as Cod chicken beef whole wheat bread and asparagus and we couldn't have made this video without mentioning curcumin curcumin is the main active substance found in turmeric turmeric is a spice from the ginger family that is best known for its anti-inflammatory benefits curcumin also seems to offer major benefits for the nervous system as well study showed that several of its components work to provide protection for the nervous

system and can be helpful in those with diabetic neuropathy more research is needed in this area but preliminary findings are promising next up on our list is alpha lipoic acid it's a compound that is loaded with antioxidant properties that has been shown to help with the glucose levels of people with metabolic syndrome but when it comes to the nervous system alpha lipoic acid has been shown to offer benefits to those with multiple sclerosis which is a chronic disease that causes the protective covering of the nerves to be damaged alpha lipoic acid also works to reduce

the pain numbness and tingling Sensations that can come with diabetic neuropathy as well if you want to increase your alpha lipoic acid intake you can consider eating more spinach broccoli potatoes brussels sprouts carrots and beets just to give a few examples real quick guys do me a huge favor and hit the like button it really helps support the channel and I greatly greatly appreciate it and while you're down there go ahead and click the Subscribe Button as well because we have a ton of other videos on our Channel that I think you will enjoy I
