Chapter 10: Ingredients for Pain Care – Nutrition and Yoga
Presenter: Matt Erb
Food can either enhance or detract from health. Food carries powerful ingredients and vast information from the environment to the body. In relation to pain we know that pain biology involves neurophysiological, inflammatory, immune, and other interacting dynamics. Properties of food can be an important part of a larger recipe of ingredients that may carry direct impact on pain biology. While it is easy to say that good nutrition is an important facet to address for persons experiencing persistent pain or other health challenges, we must bridge the gap between idealism and realism.
The concept of “food as medicine” must be mindful to not fall into preaching or privilege. Access to food and other systemic dynamics interact with each individual’s relationship with this topic. Yoga offers a framework for exploring each person’s unique makeup, history, and present relationship to food, eating, and nutrition.
Learning Objectives for Chapter 10:
- Formulate and express an understanding of evidence-informed concepts in nutrition as relates to pain biology.
- Explain links between stress, eating, and mental, emotional and behavioral health
- Apply intra- and interpersonal values/ethics to enhance one’s understanding of and approach to taking committed action around one’s relationship with food and eating
- Summarize the potential benefits of applying principles of mindfulness to one’s relationship to food and eating
- Experience principles of mindful eating to self and be able to share these principles and experiments with others
What you will learn can be effectively applied via virtual and in-person consults.
