How to prevent neuropathy
Given the hundreds of ways you could get neuropathy, preventing neuropathy is not always possible. There are however, lifestyle changes you can make to improve your odds.
Reduce inflammation
Chronic inflammation is at the root of all diseases, including neuropathy. Inflammation occurs when your body fights off bacteria or viruses. In a disease like neuropathy, your immune system triggers inflammation when there are no viruses or bacterias to fight off. This causes your immune system to act as if regular tissues are infected or somehow unusual, causing damage.
Start reducing your inflammation by:
- Stop smoking
- Reduce alcoholic beverage intake
- Avoid consuming inflammatory foods
- Manage your stress levels
Get regular exercise
