Tag: Food and swelling

Acute inflammation is the body's natural response to injury, yet certain dietary choices can cause excess inflammation, delaying your recovery. Knowing what not to eat when having a sprain is crucial for supporting your body's healing process and getting back on your feet faster.

While the R.I.C.E. method (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) is a common protocol for treating acute injuries and swelling, it has nothing to do with the grain itself. Whether eating rice is good for swelling depends entirely on the type you consume, as whole-grain and refined varieties have opposite effects on the body's inflammatory response.
