6 trigger foods that cause agonizing pain if you have neuropathy – Page 6

The majority of people love eating potato chips. But for your health’s sake, you’ll want to avoid these types of snacks.

The main issue with foods high in sodium is that it can restrict blood flow, which aggravates numbness, a symptom of peripheral neuropathy.

Potato flakes, wafers, cold cuts, salty junk foods, and processed fast foods in general are all high in sodium and should be avoided.

Too much salt in your body can cause your blood vessels to constrict, thus reducing blood flow and causing your nerves to tingle, burn, or go numb.

Always try to choose lean meats and vegetables over processed meats, cold cuts, fast food, and other foods high in sodium.
