Question : my esr 50 pl treatment
Brief Answer:
eat plenty of fruits and vegetables
Detailed Answer:
Hi
The normal level of esr is 0-22 mm/hr.
Your esr is high.
Inflammation in body causes high esr.
I will advise you to take omega-3 fatty acids, found in the oil of fatty fish which can help to decrease inflammation in your body.
Olive oil contains a type of antioxidant called polyphenols, which help to reduce or prevent inflammation.
Foods high in antioxidants can also protect against inflammation. Avoid food that is high in saturated or trans-fats.
You should also avoid simple refined sugars because they can make inflammation worse.
You also need to add foods to your diet that are high in antioxidants.
Antioxidants attack free radicals, cells that cause damage to your body.
Foods rich in antioxidants include fruits and vegetables, such as avocados, cruciferous vegetables, carrots, peppers, raspberries, citrus fruit, grapes, XXXXXXX mushrooms and tomatoes.
