A study has found that adopting a high-quality diet can alleviate chronic pain, with the effect being especially noticeable in women.

The findings, published in Nutrition Research, illuminate the fascinating connection between dietary habits and chronic pain.

Chronic pain is defined as pain lasting longer than three months. Statistics show that approximately 30% of the global population experiences chronic pain.

While chronic pain can stem from various sources, research suggests a strong link to body fat. Obesity increases your risk of localized and widespread pain and can also trigger a vicious cycle of further weight gain.

However, recent studies suggest that your dietary choices could be a game-changer in pain management, regardless of your body fat percentage.

Researchers analyzed medical and dietary data from 654 Australian adults aged 18 to 89 to determine the impact of individual eating habits on chronic pain.

The results revealed that diet quality had a direct impact on pain levels. This effect was more significant in women than in men.

Women who embraced a high-quality diet saw their pain levels drop by 37.2% to 38.8%. Women who consumed more whole foods experienced even more significant relief, with reductions ranging from 46.7% to 48.2%. These benefits were independent of body fat levels.

Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that a high-quality diet effectively reduces chronic pain in women.
