Q Are there specific foods that are bad for myofascial pain syndrome? I am curious if what you eat also affects the pain.
A Processed foods, fried foods, and excessive caffeine and alcohol increase inflammation in the body and hinder fascia recovery. On the other hand, sufficient hydration and foods rich in magnesium and vitamin D help with muscle relaxation. From a traditional Korean medicine perspective, it is important to reduce cold and greasy foods that generate dampness.
