Healthy nerves depend on the same foundations as the rest of your body. These habits are simple, cheap and worth doing whether or not you take a supplement.
1. Move every day
Walking, swimming, cycling and gentle stretching keep blood flowing to your legs and feet. If you sit for work, stand up and move for a few minutes every hour. Why circulation matters.
2. Eat for steady energy
Build meals around vegetables, beans, whole grains, nuts, fish and lean protein. These foods provide magnesium, B vitamins and antioxidants. Keeping refined sugar down helps keep blood sugar steady.
3. Know your blood sugar
High blood sugar over time is a major cause of nerve problems. Ask your doctor about an HbA1c test, especially if you're over 45 or have a family history of diabetes.
4. Look after your feet
If you have reduced feeling in your feet, check them daily for cuts or blisters. Wear well-fitting shoes, and keep your skin moisturised but dry between the toes.
5. Limit alcohol and don't smoke
Heavy drinking can damage nerves directly, and smoking narrows the blood vessels that feed them.
6. Protect your sleep
A regular bedtime and a cool, dark room help your body recover. If discomfort keeps you awake, mention it to your doctor.
