Lifestyle Management With a Chronic Illness – check out this brilliant infographic


As many of you know by now I’m a sucker for a decent infographic.

I think they are a great way of sharing health information and providing medical education to a wide range of people.

So I was delighted when Jaime got in touch telling me about this infographic she and her team have put together!

In fact it is really three infographics rolled into one.

The first looks at the impact of chronic illness in general. The second and this is really useful for people with conditions like fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis – a guide to an anti-inflammatory diet . Why not compare it to our earlier guide here.

Finally she gives a great ten pint plan for dealing with chronic illness.

What do you think?

Currently the most common way of reducing inflammation is to take anti-inflammatory drugs which are also called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or anti-inflammatories.




Inflammation is cause by many different things such as arthritis, hay fever or just sprains.

In recent years some doctors and healthcare professionals feel that certain food have anti-inflammatory properties.

Thus we think it would be useful to mention a few which you might like to include in your anti-inflammatory diet. Some to consider include:-

1)      Blueberries – those ever popular super foods.  For more information on super foods check out our blog – https://patienttalk.org/?p=276.

2)      Turmeric – great in curries and with so many health benefits.  Have a look at our recent post on the subject – https://patienttalk.org/?p=260

3)      Shitake mushrooms.  Even more beneficial than normal mushrooms!

4)      Green teas.

5)      Fatty fish such as salmon and mackerel.

6)      Kale and other leafy green vegetables.

7)      Ginger.  The other delicious Asian food you might want to try is ginger tea.

8)      Oil- red palm and olive oils are recommended.

9)      Brown rice and whole grain pasta.

10)   Pomegranates – another great super food.

And of course water is great as part of a healthy diet
