How can you reduce Inflammation in your body naturally?
Inflammation in the body can contribute to many diseases in our body from cancer to respiratory diseases to spine (back & neck) and joint pain. In this blog we will discuss what is inflammation and some tips to reduce it naturally. 
 
Inflammation has five typical signs: pain, swelling, redness, increased temperature and loss of function. When an area is inflamed, you may see some or all of these signs. Pain is the most common sign of inflammation. You might notice a swelling and redness in the inflamed area, such as after an ankle injury or a fracture. An increased temperature can be seen locally in the inflamed area or during fevers when the body is fighting off an infection that has caused an inflammation. All these signs of inflammation may cause less function in that area. example – inability to move an area after a ligament injury. 
 
There are two kinds of inflammation: acute and chronic. Acute inflammation is when you have a cut or a bruise or a scraped knee. As mums we are very familiar with this when it comes to our kids. This kind of inflammation is easily managed with rest, ice, medication, etc. However chronic inflammation is a different ball game altogether. Prolonged acute inflammation can covert to chronic inflammation but we are going to focus on chronic inflammation in this blog. 
 
Chronic inflammation, even of it is low grade inflammation can be the cause of autoimmune diseases, diabetes, heart problems, arthritis, and many other joint and spinal problems. Here are some tips of how can you manage or avoid getting inflammation in your body
 
Firstly try and get a uninterrupted solid sleep every single night. This may sound far-fetched as a mum, especially in the days right after childbirth or even with younger kids. But try and aim for this as much as possible. Sleep is the time when our organ systems slow down and the body can focus on carrying out repairs and fighting off inflammation. If we are awake this energy is redirected towards keeping our organs and systems ‘awake’ and not towards reducing the inflammation.
 
Secondly try and eliminate sugar and processed food from your diet. Both of these create inflammation in your body. Sugar tastes good but the problem is that people get addicted to sugar. The more you have it the more you crave it. This is the reason they cannot stop at that one piece of chocolate or one serving of ice cream. It is advisable to cut down on the sugar addiction by either cutting sugars down to zero or by gradually reducing it to zero. Same goes for processed food as these are highly processed and have nearly zero nutritive value. 
 
Thirdly try and do some form of exercise every day. This can range from a simple walk to seated exercises to a workout at the gym, depending on your physical ability. Exercises help to strengthen muscles so they can support joints better and prevent future injuries. It is recommended to begin with some gentle yoga, tai chi or aqua exercises for low impact exercises. Gradually move on to more intense exercises. However, it can be challenging for people with chronic pain to exercise due to the fear of increasing pain or damaging their joints further. But exercise can actually help to reduce your pain.

MEET SWATI

 
Hi there! 
I am Swati, an Executive Mum Power Coach and a Certified Posture Expert. I use my proven system to help mums of younger kids working in high-stress executive jobs manage their back, neck, and nerve pains, despite low energy levels and brain fog. I do all this without taking away a big chunk of their time out of their already busy day. This enables them to be more productive and capable professionals at work and guilt-free mums who can focus on their kids instead of always being distracted by pain. 



My passion for helping executive mums stems from my own experiences. I have been in the same boat and understand the frustration and helplessness of being in constant pain or being afraid to engage in activities due to the fear of pain. After two pregnancies in the span of three years and juggling my two kids, housework, and a demanding job, I was constantly in pain. The weight gain from motherhood added extra stress to my already overburdened spine and joints. I was stuck in a vicious cycle of weight loss and spinal/nerve pain that I just couldn’t break free from.

On top of the physical pain, I also suffered from adrenal fatigue. I often felt exhausted, waking up groggy even after a full night’s (10 to 12 plus hours!) sleep, and struggled with low energy levels and brain fog. Simple tasks became challenging, and I found myself forgetting things and unable to think clearly. It was incredibly frustrating and made it even harder to balance my professional responsibilities and family life.

My work involved long hours of standing during the day, prolonged hours on the laptop in the evening, and lots of running around and rocking my kids to sleep in between. Despite my knowledge and expertise in pain relief, I still found myself unable to escape the constant daily pain and fatigue.

Sitting at a desk job from 9 to 5, or longer, plus endless meetings that seem to go on forever. The frequent traveling, the uncomfortable hotel pillows that make it impossible to get a good night’s sleep—I’ve experienced it all. I remember not being able to share my discomfort at work because I felt like an imposter, talking about pain relief strategies and focusing on work while I was not able to achieve it myself. I didn’t disclose the extent of my pain and forgetfulness to my colleagues for years. Even though I loved my kids and my job, I couldn’t give 100% to either. The discomfort held me back from reaching my full potential, making me feel guilty as a mum and less productive at work. I felt like I was constantly running on empty, unable to catch a break from the pain and exhaustion.

finally got fed up after years of trying and decided to make a New Year’s resolution to get ‘healthy’ instead of focusing solely on my pain, fatigue, forgetfulness, and weight loss. When I shifted my focus to getting healthier by reducing the inflammation in my body and addressing my adrenal fatigue, the pain started to decrease, my energy levels and focus improved, and the pounds started shedding off too! That, of course, meant a happier spine, nerves, joints, and a happier me! Today, my neck, back, and nerve pain are down to zero, my knee pain has reduced by 75%, my brain fog has reduced drastically and my energy levels are higher than ever. I realized that I had been focusing on the wrong solutions for over a decade!

Now, my mission is to share my knowledge of pain relief and managing adrenal fatigue along with my personal experience with other mums, especially those with younger kids who work in high-stress executive jobs. My goal is to help you find lasting relief, boost your energy, and reclaim your life, just as I did. 

If you can relate to all this, you are not alone. As a mum, I have been there and done that—momma, I got you! I’ve helped hundreds of mums in this situation over the years find their solution to manage spinal and joint pains, low energy levels, and brain fog that hold them back. This enables them to feel confidently in control and empowers them to cultivate that confidence and productivity at work and enjoy being with their kids, to be able to run around with them without the fear of injury or pain.

Are you ready for this journey? Ask me how if you are curious.

Let's DO THIS!
