Protein & Pain

[Guest guest]

If pain leaves you feeling fatigued and lifeless, you may want to

increase the amount of protein you eat, particularly foods like tuna,

chicken, or turkey that are rich in an amino acid called tyrosine.

When we eat protein food, this increases tyrosine, which boosts the

levels of dopamine and norepinephrine, two brain neurotransmitters

that increase a feeling of alertness and boost concentration.
