Eat Whole Foods
People with fibromyalgia should avoid consuming processed foods because they would lead to inflammation and worsen the symptoms. These products tend to contain a large number of additives and preservatives, as well as fewer nutrients and fiber. Therefore, it is better to replace them with whole foods to ensure the daily intake of nutrients. For carb-containing foods, for instance, you should avoid white rice, white pasta, or white flour as they have been removed naturally occurring vitamins and minerals. Better options include plain potato, sweet potato, brown rice, buckwheat groats, whole wheat berries, amaranth, or quinoa. The main purpose is to maximize your nutrient intake, which plays a key role in manage the symptoms of fibromyalgia and speed up recovery. [4]
