Six Simple and Easy to Follow Do"s and Don"ts of How to Control Tinnitus by Eating Right
Are you one of those afflicted with swishing, buzzing, humming, clicking, ringing, or hissing in your head? Is this ear noise sometimes more annoying than other times? If you've noticed a change than perhaps it is time to go back, and recollect what you have been eating.
A visit to the Asian take-away around the corner (too much salt and MSG), a stop by at KFC (deep fried chicken, chips, and other nasties), too much coffee at work? It seems that your big 'T' is exacerbated.
How would it be for you to know how to control tinnitus by eating right? Reading every single word of this article will give you a concise list of the do's and don'ts to reduce the loudness and frequency of your ringing ears.
So, let's start with the do's list how to control tinnitus by eating right.
Do no.
1 Basically, as an overall statement, you need to think about where you can put on the brakes in your life, and go back to simple, home cooked meals that remind you of the old nourishing traditions of yesterdays.
Coming from Europe, Mediterranean cuisine is one of the most healthiest ways of preparing food as it includes cold-pressed, extra virgin olive oil, fish, vegetables cooked to the bite, salads, nuts, legumes, fruits, and a variety of herbs that are very beneficial for our well-being.
Do no.
2 Having said that, going 'organic' is the way to go nowadays, specially, because organically grown vegetables contain lots of vitamins that boost your immune system, and taste much better.
Research showed that organic fruit and vegetables have 30% more of the good stuff in them compared to conventionally grown crops.
This holds true also for every piece of meat that you eat: pasture fed, hormone and antibiotic-free beef; free-range or organic chicken and eggs; hormone and antibiotic-free pork.
Do no.
3 Often tinnitus sufferers lack vitamin B12, so it is advisable to supplement your diet with high potency supplements that come from a practitioner range.
It is important that you include vitamin A, the B complex, iron, zinc, and manganese.
Particularly, zinc has shown to reduce ear noise.
Do no.
4 Eat alternative grains such as kamut, amaranth, spelt, quinoa and brown rice that you find in breads, and pasta.
Sprouted grain bread, flat bread, or tortillas are the healthiest for our system.
Do no.
5 Include unsaturated fats in your diet such as nuts.
Try to cook, fry or bake with high quality unrefined coconut oil which is a healthy saturated fat.
Do no.
6 Have you already heard of power super foods that are very rich in antioxidants? Make them a fixture in your daily eating routine.
Blueberries, cranberries, pomegranates, goji berries, acai (ah-sigh-ee) berries, cocoa, acerola cherries - you name it - have a very high ORAC value, and protect your body from free radicals, and your ear noise from getting worse.
They can even lessen ringing ears, or cure it.
They are rich in essential fatty acids (omega 6 & 9), Vitamins A, B1, B2, C, E & P (flavonoids), fibre, amino acids (proteins), trace minerals, and minerals.
Do no.
6 When you eat out ask the chef to do without flavour enhancers (MSG), especially when you are fond of Asian cuisine.
MSG can fire up the noises in your ear, and make them unbearable.
And now I continue with the don'ts list how to control tinnitus by eating right.
Don't no.
1 Stay away of bleached highly refined wheat flour that causes allergic reactions, and worsens tinnitus.
Don't no.
2 Avoid cow's milk as it may increase mucous production, and the amount of secretion in the ear that can be responsible for the noise in your head.
Goat's and sheep's milk is a good alternative if you cannot do without.
Don't no.
3 I'm aware that other people write differently about it, but try to stay away from SOY as much as you can.
It is devilish.
This includes soy milk, and all derivatives of soy.
If you want to know more about it, just Google the dangers of soy, and you'll be surprised what comes up.
Don't no.
4 If you have developed a taste for deep-fried food limit it to once a month.
In the heating process the oil gets overheated and turns into a 'big nasty' that damages cells in our body, enhances bad cholesterol, blood fats, and blood pressure that can all play a role in triggering tinnitus.
Don't no.
5 Lifestyle beverages such as coffee, tea, cola, and alcohol may have a detrimental influence on your tinnitus condition as the noise may start to fluctuate from low to high, and high to low that can cause you to develop depression, anxiety, and a lot of stress.
Don't no.
6 Eat salt reduced food as too much salt causes hypertension that worsens tinnitus because of too much pressure on the vascular system around the ear.
