Feeling Good: How to Support Nerve Health

How are you feeling…literally? Answer these questions for nerve health suggestions.

A healthy nervous system is key to enjoying life. Whether it's feeling the crisp air against your skin or savoring the silkiness of your dog's fur when you give her ears a scratch, nerve health is key to your overall wellbeing. Here are three steps to maintain your nerve health and comfort.

Avoid things that "get on your nerves" (really!)

Skipping out on sleep and not properly nourishing your body can make life get on your last nerve! And, it can affect your nerve health. So be sure to prioritize a good night's rest and eat a balanced diet. Find ways to incorporate regular body movement in your routine, and if you get injured, be patient while you seek out ways to return to regular movement safely.
Eat like you love your nerves

Your diet can make a big difference in your nervous system's health. Focus on nutrient-rich foods like healthy fats, proteins, leafy greens, fruits and other complex carbohydrates. This is the best way to provide your nervous system with the vitamins and minerals it needs to thrive.
Build a focused nutritional plan for nerve health support

You can help your body maintain a healthy nervous system with the right supplement strategy. Choose nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, DHA, vitamins C and B-vitamins and zinc to support overall nerve health, and palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) to encourage nerve comfort.

Nerve Health & Comfort Support Information & Research

Which supplements help nerve health?

Nerves are present throughout the body and maintaining optimal nerve health is essential for supporting whole-body health. B vitamins are essential for maintaining nerve function. Their presence in the standard Western diet is often insufficient, making supplementation helpful. The omega-3 fatty acid DHA, vitamin C and zinc support the formation of the myelin sheath which insulates the nerves.

How can palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) help support nervous system health?

Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is a compound produced by our bodies that helps inhibit occasional minor pain. In published studies, researchers demonstrated that PEA helped support a healthy inflammatory and oxidative response. PEA can also help support nerve tissue health and may help maintain central nervous system health.

What are ways to promote nerve comfort?

Some studies suggest that supplemental lipoic acid or palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) may support nerve comfort. If you experience nerve discomfort, you should consult with your doctor.
